In the first of three final elitserien matches of the fall season, our elitserien team lost a 1-3 decision to visiting Svedala in Gisle sportcenter.
After a tough start in the opening set (15-25), our girls turned it around and put the pressure onto Svedala, easily securing a 25-14 win. We returned from the break with motivation and intensity, and jumped out to another early lead, forcing Svedala to call their first timeout at 11-8. This proved to work in their favor, as they worked together behind tough serves to tie the score and eventually take over the lead, handing us a 20-25 loss in the third set. The final set matched the first, with Svedala dealing out aggressive serves, forcing us into uncomfortable positions. Our mental focus dropped and despite great support from our crowd, we fell 16-25, losing the match 1-3.
