Roeselare had to overcome a mental blow from last week. It lost in the Champions League at home to the Greek Olympiacos Piraeus, an opponent against which it saw possible points to gain in advance.
Knack was not given much time to recover, because four days later Aalst came along for the return in the semi-final of the cup. Roeselare had won the first leg 0-3 and also started strongly: 25-18. But Aalst was able to make a fist in set two and evened the boards: 18-25.
However, Roeselare did not allow itself to be thrown off balance any further and put its affairs in order: with 25-19 and 25-16 it was able to easily qualify for the cup final. Just like last year, the neighbors from Menen are waiting there. Meet at the Sportpaleis on February 10 at 3:30 PM.
