les filles de Bordeaux-Mérignac renversent Quimper
Certainly, in the absence of Anna Janelle, Clara Martin and Julie Henyo, the Burdis lacked chances of offensive forces and proved to be suffering in the first two periods to respond to the devastating attacks of the American Davenport and the power of the Breton captain, Diagne.
What followed was unexpected and stunning. The Burdis represented the 3rd set from the right end by inflicting a 15-3 on the Bretonnes. The score then goes from a parity score (7-7) to a scathing 22-10. During this period, Bordeaux-Mérignac had made its volleyball show with the attacks of Sow-Diop and Ruchaud, the aces of Szafraniec. It was a block from Tetuatni which offered the 3rd set to the Burdis (25-17).
The BMV for great evenings was then launched and nothing seemed to be able to stop it even if Davenport continued to send pralines to Quimper. The duel had become one of the most intense between two formations that went blow for blow. But it was ultimately the BMV who would have the last word in the 4th set with an ace from Menet-Haure (24-16) followed by a smash from Sow-Diop which allowed his team to return to 2 sets everywhere ( 25-16).
The show was then at its height in an undecided 5th set. The two teams are tied (9-9). But it was the moment chosen by the captain of the Burdis, Szafraniec to place an attack (10-9) then a counter (12-10). The BMV then took over. Sow-Diop concluded the game with a magnificent service winner (15-11).
