The match opened in our favor, with us cruising to an early lead. At 10-10 Svedala increased their service pressure, taking us out of system that resulted in a total five aces and seven blocks for the home team in the opening set.
Set two again began the same, and again at 10-10 Svedala created a gap that we could never close by more than 2 points. They continued with another five service aces, but this time we answered with four of our own. In the end, they edged us out 20-25 and we entered intermission trailing 0-2.
The break provided us a chance to come together for redemption, stepping up our focus to out-score Svedala in every category to win 25-14. In the fourth, tied at 20-20, it seemed like we would be able to force the match into a 5th set. Both teams missed serves late in the match, but ultimately, Svedala was able to put a run together to hand us our 3rd-straight loss, 22-25.
Elitserien volleyball returns to Gislaved Thursday night against EVS. First serve is set for 19:00, in Gisle Sportcenter.
