Volley. Women’s Elite: Quimper was hot in Calais – Volleyball
Women’s Elite (play-downs, 7th day). Calais-Quimper: 2-3
If Quimper Volley 29 had in its sights the first place of these play-downs, the obstacle which stood up this Saturday evening was sizeable, since the Calaisiennes played a large part of their future at this level. Thus, if Quimper managed to muzzle the opposing strike force by achieving a big series at the end of the first set (13-11, 17-19, 22-25), Stella Calais fought back.
More vulnerable in reception and in delicacy with his service, Quimper was looking for his second wind and logically joined (14-11, 21-17, 25-19). François-Xavier Garnon’s squad regained bite and solidity in the third set, when the diagonals were flying from all sides (5-8, 16-20, 19-25).
Well launched towards the quest for a new success, the Finistère club once again lost its luster when Calais tightened the screw (20-17, 25-17). But the Quimpéroises had resources and knowledge by taking the tie-break with a volley (5-8, 9-15). A success that allows them to gain a place by now ahead of Bordeaux-Mérignac, surprised by the Laurentin Stadium.
