The Netzhoppers KW-Bestensee achieved their first win of the season in the volleyball Bundesliga.
On the third day of the match, coach Tomasz Wasilkowski's team defeated Grizzlys Giesen in their own hall after a 2-0 lead but only narrowly 3-2 (26:24, 25:19, 17:25, 20:25, 15: 10) through.
It was already the third tie-break game for the Brandenburgers this season, the first two games had the team 2:
Bestensee - 3 lost.
Outstanding player at the winner on Sunday was outside attacker Theo Timmermann.
The 25-year-old, a home-grown Netzhoppers, helped his team with courageous attack actions over some critical situations and came as the best scorer with 21 points.
The first set was perfectly balanced.
When the Netzhoppers first defeated themselves on three points through the American Brandon Rattray (12: 9), it didn't take long before the Giesener came up again (13:14).
In the final phase of the section, Blake Leeson initially scored for the hosts at the second set ball, which Timmermann then used.

After the clearly won second round, however, the game tipped over.
The Netzhoppers lost their line.

Giesen reached the tiebreak without showing off.
In the decisive set, a series of services from Timmermann quickly resulted in a 5-2 lead for Brandenburg.
This lead gave the team enough boost to show their strengths again.
