Match Review
Today, we started off well and played with a very good rhythm. Although we built a large lead by the middle of the set, we gave up consecutive points in the same rotation and allowed a comeback. Even after losing the first set, we continued to trade points back and forth, but we managed to win the second and third sets to take a 2-1 lead. We wanted to push through in the fourth set, but our serve reception began to falter early on, which disrupted our offensive rhythm. We caught up once in the middle of the set, but we gave up consecutive points again and were forced into a full five-set match at 2-2. In the final set, we struggled from the start, allowing consecutive points, and were unable to close the gap until the end, resulting in a loss.
I am very sorry to all the fans who had high expectations for us that we could not make it to the main court. We will not forget this frustration and will continue to improve our level before the next V.League season to show you our progress.
