The Nivelloises found their feet at the end of the initial set. “That got us into the game. This resulted in winning the second and third sets which we dominated. Lena Freixo Goncalvès and Joëlle Chaussée performed well in double change in the second set.”
The visitors relaxed in the fourth set. “We made mistakes, misunderstandings while we had the match in hand. We put Chaumont back in the saddle“, continued Youcef Aarrar.
“We found some energy and made fewer mistakes in the fourth set“, constatait Dorota Wrzochol.
Nivelles put pressure back on serve in the fifth set. “We took the lead straight away. Overall, Kathleen Gillain, Céline Hellinckx and Simone Dalne were very good in attack. Daphné Vander Elst was very stable in our game, she played as a false opposite“, further specified Youcef Aarrar.
“Nivelles always has a lot of options, the passer always chooses the right one. It was difficult to read our opponents’ play. We are happy to have a point“, indicated Dorota Wrzochol.
