Do you have any information if McKenzie Adams will stay in Schwerin? I've just read a rumor that ŁKS Łódź wants to sign her for next season.

There is no official info yet, but in a recent interview she said that she feels very well in Schwerin and could imagine to stay there long-term, maybe even after her career, but her dream would be to also play in Italy or Turkey. So I actually don't see her going to Poland...

Just like in the regular season match, Dresden seems to want to commit suicide against Aachen. From 18:9 to 23:25 in 2nd set, and almost all the way by attacking errors or hitting dumbly into the block...
-
Aachen managed to come back in the second set, now it's 1-1. Good move to put in Oude-luttikhuis, the opposites couldn't handle the pressure of scoring points on their one. Benson is such a bad libero!

I was just about to write the same. Earlier in the season she at least did well in defense, but nowadays she looks amateurish most of the time.

By the way, Potsdam has now pretty good chances to proceed for the first time to the semis. Despite they are not the first time on a sufficiently good slot for the playoffs to do so. But of course, Vilsbiburg can turn around things anyway.

There are certain reasons, because Kiraly relies on Robinson on libero position in US NT instead of any libero player.

To be fair, Oude Luttikhuis is just about as terrible as Benson. She's at 1/13 in attack and made at least 3-4 mistakes. The one who really makes the difference for Aachen since she came in is Maja Storck who seems fully recovered from her ankle injury and does much better than Agost now.
For Dresden, Korhonen was hitting 9/12 in 1st set but ever since she has been hitting at least as many balls out as in, maybe even more. So now Aachen is leading 2:1, winning in Dresden would be a major surprise still for them...
-
Yes, Dresden has still chances to win this important match and on the other hand I won't be surprised, if Waibl got fired, if they fail to get to the semis altogether. So the pressure for Dresden is extremely high both for players and head coach.
-
Waibl is never going to get fired in Dresden. He's waaaaay too holy there!
-
Now tie-break, kind of the "quarter hour of truth".
-
Very dangerous moment for Dresden now.
-
And Aachen finishes it
-
This can become the by far worst season for Dresden in a very long time, after they lost first match at home.
-
The only significant difference at Potsdam vs. Vilsbiburg was attack percentage 39 vs. 32% by the way, a match, what I partly watched. I'm curious regarding the statistics of Dresden vs. Aachen now...
-
Interesting differences of Dresden and Aachen: while the hosts had an (not very big) advantage in attack percentage of 40 to 37%, Aachen was much better in block (9 to 16 kills) and made considerably fewer service faults (five less).

Easy win for Stuttgart against a very pathetic Wiesbaden team. Even in this match Stuttgart couldn't hide their reception weakness, but Wiesbaden was nowhere near Bundesliga level today except in some phases on serve.

Schwerin lists Bongaerts as 2nd libero today That probably means she has some kind of injury and can't play regularly.
