Natalia Goncharova
“Today we had a mad desire to win” said Goncharova. “It was time to break Kazan‘s winning streak, which we did. I believe that we are in a good shape and we will try to keep it to the playoffs. We always believe in ourselves and in our strength, so we never stop fighting. This allowed us to level the score. As for my game in the fifth set, this is the result of team effort. The girls received well, passed successfully, and I was trying to score the best I can.“
From the team’s 15 points in the fifth set, Goncharova scored 10! Howewer Ekaterina Gamova was the top scorer with 43 points, she attacked more than 70 times.
In principle, Kazan‘s loss did not change anything in the standings. They still have a comfortable lead over their rivals from Moscow (49 points vs. 44). And there are three rounds remaining in the “regular season” they obviously will not squander it. Similarly, Dinamo Moscow should retain the second position.
