Host Switzerland clinched an important victory tonight at the 2nd Round Qualifier for the 2010 CEV Women’s Junior European Championship being currently played in Basel. The young Swiss ladies overcame Portugal in a thrilling five-setter to delight 600 cheering fans and supporters. The Netherlands (in straight sets against Spain) as well as Germany (with a 3:0 win versus Bulgaria) booked their second win here in Switzerland.
In front of 600 enchanted spectators at the St. Jakobshalle in Basel, Switzerland overpowered Portugal in an epic match 3:2 (25-22, 21-25, 24-26, 25-23, 15-7). Even if the Swiss team experienced many ups and downs during this hard fought duel, the players of head coach Florian Steingruber kept cool in the hottest moment of the game, especially at the end of the fourth set. Laura Unternahrer led the Swiss with 24 points, whilst Portuguese Falcao booked 19 kills for the South Europeans.
In today’s first encounter, the Netherlands continued riding their wave of success by outclassing Spain in straight sets (25-22, 25-12, 25-18). After their convincing win yesterday versus Portugal, the Dutch managed to keep the pressure high against Spain. The Spaniards made some good work in the first set, but lost their determination in the second and third set. Best scorer for the Netherlands was Yvon Belien with 11 points. Maria Segura and Jessica Rivero scored 13 points each for Spain.
Later in the afternoon Germany experienced a quite easy win versus Bulgaria (25-17, 27-25, 25-15). The Germans controlled almost all aspects of the game, especially in set No. 1 and 3. In the second set of today’s last match, Germany led 24-20, but the Bulgarians bounced back to 24-all. However, the team of head coach Han Abbing found a way to escape from this critical situation with some good net actions (27-25). The last set was again a one-way action with Sina Fuchs scoring 14 points in total. Bulgarian Ralitsa Vasileva led her team with 7 kills.
