TV match today 18:00 CET will be Wiesbaden vs Münster (stream). Should be a balanced match, Münster had the better start into the season but overall the teams should be on a similar level.

Potsdam - Stuttgart 3:0 (23, 21, 25)
https://live.volleyball-bundesliga.de/2022-23/Women/2036.pdf
MVP: Aleksandra Jegdic / Hannah Kohn
Kohn did a solid job as setter but not MVP level IMO and I don't see her as outstanding talent, IMO Sarah Straube is clearly better for now. Lee went out in 2nd set with some pain in her heel, but apparently it was mainly precaution, nothing serious. Stuttgart still looks very fragile against strong teams, only Rivers was good today.
-
Guilliams is starting as OH for Wiesbaden today, so their young libero from 2nd team gets a chance to play today.
-
well I just kinda figured she was still doing school stuff, but I guess it could be online
Not in this moment, because she's not only there but even starting setter
I wonder if she practised with the team even once, but since Münster once again has to play with their backup OPP as 2nd MB, it might not even matter too much. -
seriously? her USA season just ended on Sunday... there's no way she's there yet.... right?
Looks like Suhl acted real quick there
Meanwhile, Potsdam is missing Cekulaev and Stuttgart is missing Bongaerts. That will be interesting, last season Renkema said in an interview that in 2-3 years Hannah Kohn will be starting setter of German NT, so today she can show what she's capable of
-
Both Liu sisters indeed are in the roster for today's match
-
I was curious if that would happen. She didn't play much here, but an emergency is an emergency.
Both of her parents played for the Chinese national team I think
Yes, her dad has been working successfully as coach with male teams in Germany for a long time, though mostly in 2nd league, and since 2016 he's coach of an ambitious 2nd league female team (Borken).
-
And now Suhl added Jenni Liu, younger sister of Yina Liu, to their roster
She played in VCO Berlin until 2019 and in USA after that. -
Angeli is now completely erased from Suhl's roster on VBL site, but OTOH Liu's license has been activated now
AFAIK her absence was due to troubles with an old ankle injury, so I wonder if she gets to actually play now until they find a new setter -
Straubing - Dresden 0:3 (22, 18, 19)

MVP: Laura Rodwald / Agnes Pallag
Tomorrow at 18:30 CET we'll get Potsdam-Stuttgart as TV match, I hope both teams can play with their best line-up and have a high level match
-
Unfortunately the first examinations were wrong. It's a ACL injury. She will be out for the rest of the season.
So as Münster has an MB curse this season, Suhl has a setter curse. I hope they find a decent replacement somewhere...maybe if Dijkema really joins Macerata they might release Milanova? Wouldn't be great but OTOH it's not like the market right now is flooded with world class players waiting to sign in Suhl. -
Does anyone have the stats of the Leningradka-Dynamo Moscow match?
-
I wouldnt be surprised if she just didn't meet expectations.... she's not to the german league level (well... maybe neuwied
)Well, in the current situation she would at least be better than no setter at all
On the top of my head I can't think of any good setter available on the market. -
because they sent the american home already. so maybe they save the transfer costs?
In Straubing it seems different… could have been some kind of penalty from the league. was only two matches right?
They sent Angeli home? This probably means her injury is also something long-term (or she did not fulfill expectations at all?).Abput Straubing, I don't think it was a penalty from the league. Both players definitely were injured, but I don't know what's the use of temporarily deactivating player licenses
-
Orthmann is out of shape...
Yeah, since 2 years or so I think
She's one of those players who never really made the transition from "talent" to "good player" unfortunately. It's like she's always one step away from the real breakthrough, but she can't seem to take this one step. -
Suhl's backup setter Angeli (who was already transfered as replacement for the injured Liu) also is injured, her license has been deactivated on VBL site (Straubing did the same with McNamara's and Michalewicz's licenses when they were injured and reactivated them after they recovered, no idea what's the sense of this). On Wednesday they have to play in Münster, so they urgently need to find some setter somewhere

This doesn't look good at all

Cup quarterfinals
Wiesbaden - Schwerin 0:3 (20, 14, 20)
http://live.volleyball-bundesliga.de/2022-23/Women/8108.pdf
MVP: Tanja Großer / Tutku Burcu Yüzgenc
Stuttgart - Suhl 3:0 (21, 17, 16)
http://live.volleyball-bundesliga.de/2022-23/Women/8109.pdf
MVP: Roosa Koskelo / Vedrana Jaksetic
Not sure what to think about giving MVP to a player whose injury decided the match, but I'm sure it was meant as a nice gesture. Suhl was leading 18:15 in 1st set when Jaksetic got injured but had no chance afterwards.
Dresden - Potsdam 0:3 (28, 16, 21)
http://live.volleyball-bundesliga.de/2022-23/Women/8110.pdf
MVP: Lara Berger / Anett Nemeth
Erfurt - Aachen 2:3 (27:25 27:25 21:25 23:25 12:15)

MVP: Vera Mulder / Helena Dornheim

Rene Sain suffers from mononucleosis, so she'll be out for a while. I guess for the time being Wiesbaden will continue with Guilliams as libero, it worked well in the last two matches.
