The first day of the tournament started with a shock. In the first set the scoreboard showed a stark and worrying 20-10 to the opponents. It looked as if we “hadn’t arrived” at the match at all, as if the pressure of hosting had completely stalled our engines. We lost that set 19-25, but its ending was the spark we needed.
From that moment the team went through a spectacular transformation. We arrived “late” to the match, but when we did arrive… we took control of the net! 🔴🟡🔵. Congratulations to the girls on the comeback – we hope the engines only needed warming up today.
The next sets were a display of pride and technique:
-
Set 2: a 25-19 that showed we had woken up.
-
Set 3: a point-for-point battle, ending in a nail-biting 25-23.
-
Set 4: the win sealed at 25-22.
Coming back from a 10-point deficit in the first set and winning 3-1 in the end is clear proof that this team doesn’t know the word “give up”. 🇷🇴🙌
A decisive step towards qualification! Today our U15 team earned a very important 3-1 win against CSS2 Baia-Mare, after an intense match that brings us even closer to our goal.
The team showed exemplary commitment on court, handling the pressure moments with a cool head and plenty of heart. Congratulations to Zoe and Alya, our cannons, Adelina and Noa, our playmakers, Sophia, for the serves that brought us back into the match, Iulia, you were in the right place almost every time, Irina and Dania, completing a machine that has started to run well. And of course to all the girls who were ready to fight at any moment! The three points won today keep us in a qualifying place and give us the calm and confidence we need for tomorrow’s matches.
🔥 Why tomorrow is our day:
-
We have the morale: today’s 3-1 win has given us wings.
-
We have the unity: we have become more than a team, we are a family fighting for the same dream.
-
We have the stakes: qualification for Semi-final Tournament 2 is right there, a set away, a ball away.
📣 A call for support!
Tomorrow it’s not only our girls who play! We play too, those of us in the stands or at home. Every message of encouragement counts!
Come on, girls! Step on court, be brave and show everyone what our spirit means! It’s time to win both matches tomorrow and go home with the qualification! VOLLEYBALL FOREVER!!! 💜💜💜
