Defending champion HYPO TIROL volleyball team celebrated an easy 3-0 (25:23, 25:17, 25:16) victory on the field of TSV Raiffeisen Hartberg in Game 2 of Powerfusion VL Men final best-of-five series.
The Innsbruck team had already won the Game 1 – but only at tie break, and they are now only two wins away from their twelfth championship title.
The third duel takes place on Wednesday in the USI Hall.
The hosts were able to fight only in the first set and in third one only until until 12:12 in their well-attended Stadtwerke-Hartberg-Halle, but eventually succumbed to HYPO TIROL after just 72 minutes.
Top scorers of the game were Đorđe Knezevic (11), Lukas Glatz (8) and Matthias Glatz (7) for Hartberg, and Arthur Nath (13), Niklas Kronthaler and Luan Weber (11 each) for the winners.
And, about relegation round, SPORTUNION z+p St. Pölten are promoted to the next edition of Powerfusion VL Men, after celebrating a 3-1 (25:13, 25:18, 22:25, 25:13) home win over last-placed UNIONvolleys Bisamberg-Hollabrunn in the relegation round on Sunday to secure second place behind VBK Wörther-See-Löwen Klagenfurt. As a result, VBC TLC Weiz is relegated from the top division.
