Russian giant too strong for German rookie
Dinamo was not impressed by the great atmosphere created at “Margon Arena” by 2’650 local fans and quickly imposed its rhythm in the opening set (25-12).
DRESDNER SC was able to keep the score very close in set 2 (7:7, 15:15), but the Russian stars around Ekaterina Gamova changed gear in the final rush (25-20).
Dinamo opened strong also in the third set (8:3) to wrap it up in three straight sets (25-13).
Jordan Larson and Anne Matthes top scored tonight for Dinamo KAZAN and DRESDNER SC respectively with 11 points apiece.
“We definitely wanted to play better than we did tonight” said home coach Alexander Waibl.
“But Dinamo was really too strong for us”.
