Poland - OrlenLiga 2014/2015

Today Results:

Impel - KSZO 3-0 (25-13 25-22 26-24) MVP: Hana Cutura stats

I watched first, end of second and most of third set. Both Croatians played pretty well, while team made many points with Kauffeldt on serve Impel came back in last set from 9-16, then Kwiatkowska had main effort in turning this set over, with support of Grejman and Hagglund who also entered after such huge behind. Berojek was the best scorer in KSZO, but sher efficiency was still low.

Developres - Muszynianka 1-3 (25-23 14-25 16-25 13-25) MVP: Justyna Sosnowska stats

Only Carter didn't play from starters in Muszyna. Sylwia Wojcieska injured her knee quite seriously. but Sosnowska was good sub good game by Kurnikowska and Hatala. Śliwińska was leader in Developres, unfortun ately Szeremeta didn't play as good as in some games.

Final Standings After Regular Season:
1. KPS Chemik Police 60
2. PGE Atom Trefl Sopot 55
3. Polski Cukier Muszynianka Muszyna 50
4. Impel Wrocław 48
5. BKS Aluprof Bielsko-Biała 40
6. Tauron Banimex MKS Dąbrowa Górnicza 38
7. Budowlani Łódź 32
8. SK Bank Legionovia Legionowo 22
9. KSZO Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski 22
10. Developres SkyRes Rzeszów 15
11. PGNiG Nafta Piła 10
12. KS Pałac Bydgoszcz 4

IMHO KSZO should be ahead of Legionovia because they have more wins (7-15, while Legionovia 6-16), but they have better sets ratio wins should be the most important factor

Play-Off draw:
Quarterfinals:
Chemik - Legionovia
Atom - Budowlani
Muszynianka - Tauron
Impel - Aluprof

Lower places 1st PO round:

Quote from Wojtek13

Great work! thanks
as we see we have young good players like Wójcik, Smarzek and Trojan and more...I would like to see them playing in Italy, because they could learn more

It would be good for all these players recently I've read that Smarzek is overused in Legionovia because of playing also in Young League it's so nice that Wójcik is spiking with such efficiency pity that her passing numbers are relatively weak. Trojan is superb blocker, but she has to improve her spiking skills and because of it I didn't put her in roster with the best players

going abroad for all these players should give them benefits and I agree that the best would be Italy

Schedule for Play-Offs:
Quarterfinals (2 wins)
Legionovia - Chemik
Budowlani - Atom
Tauron - Muszynianka
BKS - Impel

First matches on 18.03 lower ranked teams are hosts, second matches will be on 21.03.
Third matches (if necessary) will be played on 22.03 - in 2nd and 3rd game higher ranked teams are hosts.

Lower Ranked Teams PO 1:
Pałac - KSZO 18.03, 21.03
PGNiG - Developres 18.03, 22.03

Lower ranked teams as hosts in first games, higher ranked in second games.
There are only 2 matches - 3 points for 3-0 or 3-1, 2 points for 3-2, 1 point for 2-3 and 0 points for 1-3 or 0-3.
Team with more points has better seeding in fight for places 5th-12th. In case of tie there will be Golden Set

PGNiG Nafta Piła has problems with money once again we know that Marzena Wilczyńska (OH/OP) solved contract and went to Post Schwechat. Veronika Skorupka (OH/OP) is the next one who wants to leave club - she asked to solved her contract and didn't appear on yesterday training... reason - financial overdues

Today we had 2 other Quarterfinals:

Aluprof - Impel 0-3 (18-25 20-25 18-25)
Muszynianka - Budowlani 2-3 (25-22 25-23 23-25 21-25 8-15) - surprise here, many ups and downs...

Semifinals in Final four:
Chemik - Impel
Atom - Budowlani

Little offtop

Today in Polish edition of Project Runway we had players from SK Bank Legionovia Legionowo as models
I saw Malwina Smarzek, Aleksandra Wójcik, Katarzyna Wysocka, Marta Bechis, Jaimie Thibeault, Natalia Gajewska, Katarzyna Połeć, Karolina Szymańska, Krystyna Pietraszkiewicz, Iga Chojnacka and one blonde girl who I didn't recognize - it could be either Monika Bociek or Klaudia Alagierska or Justyna Antosiewicz- someone can help me unfortunately Daria Paszek wasn't there

Quote from Phil

3 blonde girls - Monika Bociek, Justyna Antosiewicz and Kasia Jędrzejewska.

Thanks I thought that there were only 11 girls, but I noticed that something is wrong
I see that Jędrzejewska is OH playing in Junior League in Legionovia

Quote from saishuu

Just curious: is there any way to watch the Project Runway episode outside of Poland? I actually like US version of the show and it'd be fun to watch.

Show should be available on plyer.pl below link:
http://player.pl/programy-onli…ject-runway-odcinki,1990/

unfortunately I don't know if whole webservice is available outside Poland
