Player in the background and desperate rescues: the incredible point of an American volleyball team

The shock of the women's university teams in the United States between Houston and the formation of South Dakota offered the few hundred spectators of DJ Sokol Arena last Friday a high-flying spectacle with an exceptional point won by the Houston Cougars and its heroine: Kate Georgiades.

The libero caused a sensation by going to save in extremis a ball badly received by a teammate on an opposing attack by going to fit into the tables placed behind the field.

A desperate blind gesture that allowed his team to put the ball into play. Helped by his team's bench to get up, Kate Georgiades was still there, a few moments later, on her knees, to throw a ball back.

Houston then managed to counter several attacks from the opposing team before having the last word, on a ball delicately placed in the opposing camp.

Deliverance after ten endless exchanges on one point, which is quite rare.

Houston, which subsequently dominated Auburn, will face Stanford University in the regional semifinals on Thursday.
