Overview
- The BR Volleys advanced to the Ligacup final by defeating VfB Friedrichshafen 3-1 with set scores of 24-26, 25-16, 25-21 and 26-24.
- Berlin earlier reached the semifinal by beating Netzhoppers Königs Wusterhausen 3-0, a match that featured clear control but many serving errors that kept the margin tight.
- Nolan Flexen led the team in the semifinal with 17 points and Alexandru Rata added 16, while earlier matches saw Tom Koops and Daniel Malescha as top scorers for Berlin.
- The team showed long stretches of dominance but also recurring weak phases in serve and reception, and they closed the semifinal by converting their second match point after steady composure in the final moments.
- The win keeps the title defenders’ early-season momentum intact and sends them into Sunday’s final against the winner of Grizzlys Giesen and SVG Lüneburg, reinforcing their domestic consistency with a fifth consecutive Ligacup final appearance.
