Stormtwoopers are back on track!

After an extended Christmas break, we were finally able to continue our mission of total domination of our class and make Darth Vader proud. Because of the break, everyone was well rested and full of fighting energy, except for French Thomas, who decided that because there was no volleyball, he might as well dislocate his shoulder while skiing. Fortunately, the opponent of Heren 3 thought they needed more time to prepare, so we were able to count the mighty Jessie among our ranks.

In the first set, we had a slow start, with a few minor communicatory issues, causing balls to fall on the ground that shouldn’t have. But it seemed that the opponent had the same issues, but they managed it a little better, causing the set to end 23-25

For the second set, we took the initiative and we cleaned up our act, with some nice attacks and defence, finishing the set 25-22.

During the season, it has become apparent that we do not like being ahead of the opponent, and we like to make the match more of a challenge, so we let them have the third set with a score of 22-25.

Now that the match has become interesting again, we took back initiative and because we can’t get enough of volleyball, we won the set 25-22 and made sure that we were able to play a fifth set.

At this time, the opponent was tired, and said that they wanted to be done quickly. We did not oblige, by playing many long rallies, and losing more points than necessary. At one point, setter Frank noticed that the attack was not that effective, so he jumped and scored the ball himself. At 14-13, the opponent served on libero Pim, who then ketsed the ball back into the opponent’s side, but they were done playing, and let it drop on the floor, making it 15-13.
