SVG Lüneburg triumphs after falling behind: home win in the volleyball thriller!

In an exciting start to the season, SVG Lüneburg won its first game in the Volleyball Bundesliga with a dramatic 3-2 win against Barock Volleys Ludwigsburg. The Lüneburgers, who were behind after losing two sets, showed perseverance and prevailed in the tiebreak with 15:12. “The narrow victory is totally fine,” commented SVG coach Stefan Hübner, remembering similar situations from last season that gave him déjà vu. After a weak start, a change in the team was necessary to bring a breath of fresh air into the game.

Particularly noteworthy are the performances of captain Jesse Elser and Axel Enlund, who had a positive influence on the team dynamic. From the third set onwards, there was great progress in defense and game control, which meant that the attacks of the diagonal player Hero Omene from Ludwigsburg could be better controlled. Hübner was optimistic for the next home game against the Volley Goats Mitteldeutschland, which will take place on Saturday at 7 p.m. in the LKH Arena. “All the players are fit, including Jackson Howe,” he added.
