In front of a fired-up home crowd, SSC Palmberg Schwerin delivered a dominant 3:0 win over VfB Suhl Lotto Thüringen in the first playoff semifinal (Game 1). From the first whistle, Schwerin came out swinging—sharp serves, fast attacks, and solid teamwork set the tone.

Despite Suhl’s brief rallies, the hosts stayed in control. Grozer, Dambrink, and Keene led the charge for SSC, while Llabres and Wolowicz shined in defense. The PALMBERG ARENA was electric as Schwerin took all three sets (25:20, 25:14, 25:15) with confidence.
