Poland - OrlenLiga 2013/2014

  • :wall: And Beier had such a surprisingly good season before...if she and Brinker continue playing like this in summer Guidetti will get grey hair and Geerties and Izquierdo a lot of time on court :whistle:

    Totally agree, Brinker is sucha a disappointment thorughout whole season (both Pyziołek and Mroczkowska are better than Maren :whistle: ), while Beier after good start is getting weaker significantly, playing in last games with efficiency around 20% or even weaker, but she can thank her "great coach" - Mirosław Zawieracz should be fired as soon as ossible, with him as head coach Aluprof won't achieve anything - he sticked to starting six and they don't give a rest, moreover his training methods don't have good results, though during Final Four of Polish Cup it looked much better, now is a one big drama :mad:

  • Today Result:


    Impel Wrocław - Polski Cukier Muszynianka Fakro Bank BPS Muszyna 3-0 (28-26 25-21 25-23) MVP: Joanna Kaczor report


    Game didn't have a dominant team. Impel won it, but Muszyna could've used a chance at least in first set. Kaczor and Brinker played better than yesterday, while Mroczkowska kept good level. From Sugarbabes the best was Różycka.


    Impel - Muszynianka 2-0

    Beef Master Budowlani Łódź - Atom Trefl Sopot

  • Today Result:


    Beef Master Budowlani Łódź - Atom Trefl Sopot 0-3 (18-25 18-25 19-25) MVP: Anna Podolec report


    Atom was much better again, with Podolec as a team's leader, who had good support by all her teammates, while Budowlani had chances only thanks to Nuszel and Cabrera - rest was a mistake :whistle:
    As I predicted, tomorrow we won't have a match - Atom advanced to semifinals, Budowlani will fight for places 5th - 8th.

    Siódemka SK Bank Legionovia Legionowo - KPS Chemik Police 1-3 (25-19 20-25 16-25 11-25) MVP: Katarzyna Mróz stats


    Again good game by experienced MB from Police, good game also by other spikers, even Ognjenovic with 9 points :thumbup: - 3 spikes + 6 blocks. The weakest was Sobolska with an empty mileage she was subbed in first set by Bednarek. From Legionovia the best were Tomsia with Szymańska, I won't comment what did rest :sos:
    Chemik is second semifinalist

    Beier and Horka played a bit better finally, but it wasn't enough. It was another match with low spiking efficiencies and 38 kill blocks. Good performance in block by Dziękiewicz and Adams.


    Tauron - Aluprof 3-0


    Polski Cukier Muszynianka Fakro Bank BPS Muszyna - Impel Wrocław 0-3 (17-25 22-25 22-25) MVP: Maren Brinker report


    I expected more tougher battle for Impel, but it was quick match again. Brinker with Kaczor made difference again, in Muszyna the best were Różycka and Piątek.

  • Sorry, I totally forgot about it :aww: :mad:


    Yesterday Results:


    5th-8th: - 2 wins


    Siódemka SK Bank Legionovia Legionowo - BKS Aluprof Bielsko-Biała 0-3 (18-25 24-26 23-25) MVP: Helena Horka report


    Good match by Horka and Lis, Heike Beier was absent yesterday and instead of her played Łyszkiewicz and was much better than Ciaszkiewicz :thumbsup: From Legionovia except Tomsia, Jóźwicka and Barfield rest played nothing :whistle:


    Legionovia - Aluprof 0-1


    Semifinal: - 3 wins


    Atom Trefl Sopot - Impel Wrocław 0-3 (23-25 26-28 17-25) MVP: Frakude Dirickx report


    Blocks by Impel and errors by more errors by Atom made significant difference, especially in last set, after strong tight battle in first two sets.I'm so happy that Impel won :dance4: players leading to win were Dirickx, Mroczkowska and Wilson. Next decent match by Pyziołek as libero and good sub by Konieczna :thumbup: the weakest link was of course Kaczor, Kąkolewska again poorly as spiker, she still should learn, but it's good that she can be starter all season long :thumbsup:
    From Atom the best were Podolec and Molnar. Leys was shadow of her usual performance, while Kim Hill after nice performance in US NT, now is completely disappointing :mad: of course MBs were also weak, especially windmill Efimienko :whistle:


    Atom - Impel 0-1


    I hope I won't forget about match today and I want Impel to win again ^^

  • Thanks.


    Today I had time to watch starting about 1 hour into the match, but I couldn't find a stream. Atom was leading in the 3rd and I figured it would be over soon anyway... :aww:
    Atom Trefl Sopot - Impel Wrocław 3:2 (25:20, 25:19, 21:25, 19:25, 16:14)

  • After watching first two sets I was disappointed, they just stopped playing after 13-18 in first set and came back after 17-7 for Atom in second, wakening up in third set. Atom had poor start, but entrance by Pietersen and Hill changed their performance. Because of being angry I dedcided to switch TV off and go for a walk. When I came back I checked result and it was tiebreak. I was even more disappointed when Impel had advantage 9-5, later matchball and lost it :mad: MVP is Iza Bełcik.


    stats


    Impel lost it by weaker blocking than yesterday and committed more errors. Mroczkowska wasn't as good as yesterday :whistle: Konieczna in next match should be a starter Kaczor had good only first few balls and later disappeared so quickly... from Atom surprisingly good was Pietersen, though stats don't show it, also Podolec had quite good numbers. Molnar was horrible, while Hill was only a bit better. Leys was quite reliavble scorers, but her percents could've bee higher. Efimienko compensated her performance by 7 blocks, but for me she's still not convincing, just wooden long with height :lol: I hope that Kąkolewska won't be the same in 4-5 years :rolleyes:


    Atom - Impel 1-1

  • We had today one more semifinal:


    KPS Chemik Police - Tauron Banimex MKS Dąbrowa Górnicza 3-1 (20-25 25-20 25-22 26-24) MVP: Ana Bjelica report


    Quite good match by both sides, Bjelica was Chemik's leader, with good support by Glinka and Werblińska, who was main serve target. After being invisible Bednarek was taken out in second set and Gajgał was much better. From Tauron the best was Skowrońska, Zaroślińska was best scorer, but with not satisfactory % as a spiker, Sassa kept reception, but her spiking was poor again :whistle:


    Chemik - Tauron 1-0

  • And another game tonight - Play Out:


    KS Pałac Bydgoszcz - PGNiG Nafta Piła 2-3 (25-19 25-21 20-25 18-25 9-15) MVP: Daria Paszek report


    10 minutes of break changed everything. Without Połeć and Kaliszuk it would be tough to get even single set for Pałac, while Agata Pura got surprisingly low amount of points :whistle: In PGNiG Paszek was so overused - 42 receptions with 55% positive, moreover 31 spikes with 48% - good result with deserved aweard, meanwhile Agata Babicz received only 15 times and had 31% spiking. Good job for Piła made also Kingsley and Ward who subbed Wawrzyniak.


    Pałac - PGNiG 0-2


    It seems that Pałac will be last, but it doesnt't mean that team will be out of Orlen Liga because of additional tournament in order to widen league ^^

  • Today Result:


    KPS Chemik Police - Tauron Banimex MKS Dąbrowa Górnicza 3-1 (25-15 25-14 22-25 25-22) MVP: Małgorzata Glinka-Mogentale report


    Perfect performance by Glinka, with good contirbution by MBs and decent by Bjelica. Werblińska this time was weak link. From Tauron wee had Zaroślińska alone again :whistle: rest with poor percents in terms of spiking. Ozge also had worse performance than usually and she was taken out in second set.

    Beef Master Budowlani Łódź - Polski Cukier Muszynianka Fakro Bank BPS Muszyna 1-3 (25-23 23-25 15-25 21-25) MVP: Aleksandra Jagieło ? report


    Muszyna was much better overall, the best were Jagieło and Wojcieska, oters like Różycka or Cvetanovic got satisfactory amounts of points, but with poor spiking efficiency. Budowlani are without real OPP - both Kwiatkowska and Love are horrible now, muchbetter than both is Cuban, Noris Cabrera. Next to her the best were Nuszel and Pycia, not bad game also by Sikorska who's back in game after longer break after injury.


    Budowlani - Muszynianka 0-1
