Overview
- Berlin swept ASV Dachau 25-21, 25-14, 25-19 at Max-Schmeling-Halle to stay close to the Bundesliga lead.
- The streak follows straight-sets wins over Freiburg and VC Olympia after an early slump with home defeats to Friedrichshafen and Lüneburg.
- Managing director Kaweh Niroomand sees only small steps, citing missing rhythm, subpar physical condition, and limited attacking and serving pressure.
- Captain Ruben Schott describes an ongoing finding phase and says self-confidence must be rebuilt during congested pre-Christmas weeks.
- Opposite Jake Hanes delivered a decisive second-set serving run, and Berlin next visit promoted SV Warnemünde on Wednesday for a cup quarter-final.
