of course, matches will be in Polsat Sport, for sure you can find stream, even a few... For example from this page you can search a stream ;)

Are there still competitions left for teams eliminated in playoff quarterfinals? It seems Rachael Adams is still in Bydgoszcz, though I think they are done playing? Usually Americans leave as soon as season is over/clubs do not want to pay for them when season is finished.

Tauron MKS Dąbrowa Górnicza - BKS Aluprof Bielsko-Biała 1-3 (25-17 25-27 15-25 18-25) MVP: Helena Horka stats

Really weird match, at the beginning Aluprof started good, but at half of set they stopped playing and lost. In second set Aluprof controlled game till 16-21, later were few stupid errors and Tauron could come back to game, however they lost set. In last 2 sets Tauron's game definitely collapsed - even they had positive reception they couldn't spiked properly. In last set the result should be higher, but Aluprof made some mistakes and Tauron tried to decrease behind. Quite good match by Horka and desrved MVP. Next match tomorrow, but no TV broadcast.

And one more piece of news: Mirosław Zawieracz isn't coach of PTPS Piła, his successor is Dariusz Luks who trained Lotos Gdańsk (PlusLiga) and AZS Białystok.

Zawieracz signed with Wiezyca Stezyca (Polish A2) for next season.

There is a rumor that PTPS Piła is going to sell a license and will be playing in I liga next season. The club has a huge debt (nearly one million zł).

And congratulations to Bielsko

Go Muszyna, win the cup. Semi final requires best 3 of 5 games, doesn't it? If they pass Atom, I think the final will be easier, right?

Yep, to final advances team which win 3 matches. If Muszyna beats Atom, finals will be with winner of Aluprof/Tauron, for me second pair is weaker, so for Muszyna should be easier.

I forgot that today is also 5th-8th place match Impel - Budowlani at 17:00 CET

I agree with this. Despite season standings and cup final, I think Atom could beat either Tauron or Aluprof in a playoff series.

I am not as confident about beating Muszyna. Hopefully, the girls do not share these doubts and can take the match tomorrow... Then they have chance to finish the series on the coast, far away from source of Muszynianka magic water. Go Atom!
