Poland – Canada: Certain victory for Polish volleyball players in LN
The representation of the Maple Leaf team is full of volleyball players who played in the Polish league. Playmaker Tyler Sanders led the game from MKS Będzin and Trefl Gdańsk, Sharone Vernon-Evans won second place at Onico Warszawa, Nicolas Hoag and John Gordon Perrin are well known to Asseco Resovia fans.
It was Perrin, Hoag and Vernon-Evans who wreaked havoc on the Polish players, especially in the early part of the game. Vernon-Evans was sometimes unstoppable by his rivals. At the start, the Canadians were more often in the lead, and after a juicy Hoag, it was 16:13 for Canada. During the technical break, Heynen gave his comments to his proteges, who picked up the pace. First of all, they improved the serve, thanks to which they threw their rivals out of the net and they were able to look for their chances in the block and the defense.
The Poles maintained the reception, Fabian Drzyzga noted some good exhibitions, of which he played for Michał Kubiak on a “clean” net. At decisive moments, Hoag was blocked and Wilfredo Leon struck with impunity on a pass ball.
Poland – Canada: The course of the match
The course of the second set was quite similar, but white and red players were more often in the lead. The problem started in the Vernon-Evans field. The Canadians won three straight points and Heynen had to intervene. After a while, Leon served and sent two aces. This was the key moment of this part of the meeting. In the end, Stephen Maar made a mistake twice, although his attack at 23:22 missed the line by inches, which was shown by video verification. The dot above the “i” was placed by Jakub Kochanowski, who beat the opposing block.
The Poles wanted to avoid a nervous end and started the third set with a bang. They were leading 6:2, 12:6, taking advantage of every mistake their rival made. The Canadians had no intention of giving up and after Arthur Szwarc’s attack they reduced the losses to a “gap” at 19:20. The world champions played almost flawlessly at the end, and Piotr Nowakowski completed the game’s longest action with the second match ball.
Kubiak (16) and Leon (14) scored the most points for the Polish team; for Canada Vernon-Evans (16).
