“Every training session here is like a cup final in Germany”
In the summer, the volleyball Bundesliga team SC Potsdam lost several top performers. One of them is Sarah van Aalen, who moved to Turkey. Although the sporting level is better and the halls are full, she misses Potsdam.more
12:17 deficit recovered
The first set in front of 1,178 spectators in Vilsbiburg was already in the balance for a long time. However, with middle blocker Anastasia Cekulaev on serve, the guests managed to pull away from 17:17 to 23:17. Vilsbiburg put up even more energetic resistance in the second half. But the Potsdam women got the first set point through Suvi Kokkonen after a score of 23:23. The team used this cleverly with a block of two to take a 2-0 lead in the set.
SC Potsdam showed morale in the third period when the team courageously overcame a 12:17 deficit and finally took the lead with 21:19 thanks to a block by Danielle Harbin and thus headed towards victory.
