Uralochka levels series against Krasnoyarsk in hard-fought match: despite Ekaterinburg won the first two sets clearly, Yenisey leveled as convincing and the tie-break went via 13:12 to 15:12 in the end. But now two matches in Krasnoyarsk follow, so the east-sibirian team has a small advantage.

Maja Poljak has found her magnetic block arms
-
Maja Poljak blocking everything On the flipside, Goncharova IMO is not really playing at her usual level, she can play better.
-
However, Moscow did a great job to level series by winning in clear straight sets, so it is 1:1 too, and Kazan takes the little advantage to its home hall.
-
After winning yesterday 3:2, Yenisei seems unable to secure third place. They were 21:14 ahead in first set and seem unable to recover ...
-
Yenisei showing great morale, forcing a fifth set (after 2 sets down). 15 points away from CL 17/18.
-
Wow! Yenisei finnishing a great season on third place!

Yes, this was a great season overall for Yenisei Krasnoyarsk overall: they were pretty good in league round (5.) and even better in playoffs, where they stunned first the both much more experienced and higher rated teams of Krasnodar (4.) in quarters (even in two of at most three matches) and now with winning against Ekaterinburg (3.) they even qualified for CL qualification competition next season, "relegating" Ekaterinburg to CEV cup, after they did so with Krasnodar to Challenge cup.

im surprised that Uralocka lost the third place to Yenisei

Look here:
-
3rd match between the two Dynamos.
It looks like we're going to a fitfth set.
-
Nice match. Tied at 13.
-
Dinamo Moscow makes a comeback and wins the 3rd match(Is this best of 5 I dunno)
Only watched the last two sets but... the win probably was atrributed to Vetrova getting the tempo right while Startseva struggled on her setting at the last stop. Too high imo. I don't know what happen to Pankova but probably mess up again I guess. Vetrova sub probably save Moscow. Thought her tosses were picture perfect at times.
-
4th and potentially last final now live on Laola and tvstart.ru. Kazan needs to win to take the series to a 5th decisive match. So far they're on a good way in 1st set but Moscow wakes up right now.
-
And what a wake up that was
Moscow from 15:23 to 23:23 with Poljak on serve, defending two set points and winning 27:25 eventually. Now they're two sets away from the title.
I think Goncharova has found her "new Gamova" in Voronkova A little nasty stare every now and then through the net...
-
And again
Kazan had a comfortable lead all throughout 3rd set until 22:19 and then Moscow woke up. Goncharova plays quite bad overall but in those tight ends of the sets she's almost at 100% except for that one ball where she got blocked.
So one more set for Moscow. Kazan plays better in something like 90% of the match but they just can't win the sets
-
I'm not in particular a fan of either team but today I really want Moscow to win. That referee is scandalously in favor of Kazan
-
So Moscow defended the title against Kazan, but this was a very close race, Moscow better just at the big points.
-
Congrats to Moscow
