the women’s volleyball classic drew a crowd in the poly
An interruption in the electricity service postponed for an hour the beginning of the volleyball Champions Cup, in the women’s category, which added to the length of the first semifinal, in charge of Boca-San Lorenzo, the classic from La Plata between the Gymnastics and Estudiantes teams began after 11:30 p.m.
The winner of the match between the clubs in our city, which drew a real crowd at the Albiazul Sports Center on Calle 4, will be Boca’s rival in tomorrow’s final, scheduled for 9:00 p.m. at the Víctor Nethol gym. The loser, meanwhile, will play for third place, against San Lorenzo, who fell 3-2, at 7:00 p.m.
The contest organized within the framework of the celebration of the 90th anniversary of the Metropolitan Volleyball Federation had a great call on its opening date, which due to a power outage that covered the area had to be rescheduled for almost an hour, which means that Guerreras and Matadoras had action around 9:00 p.m., when it was announced for 8:00 p.m.
San Lorenzo seemed to shorten the night when they won the first two sets, 25-20 and 26-24, but they did not find a way to close the rest, which in general dominated the scoreboard for a good part, and ended up falling by 3 -2 because of the sets that the team from Boca won 25-22, 28-26 and 15-13 in the tie-break.
A truly great game that ended after 23:15.
At the end, and after the testimonies collected by the television broadcast, the girls from Gimnasia and Estudiantes finally appeared on the court to play the long-awaited women’s volleyball classic from La Plata that was still taking place at the close of this edition.
Under these conditions, and after the presentations of the case, and the previous warm-up, the ball began to travel from one side of the field to the other at 23:48, with the initial kick off by the Lobas, who left the ball in the net, allowing the visitors an advantage that encouraged an intense match, with an immediate reaction from the albiazules.
