With an impressive record of 17 wins and just one defeat, the Hypo-Tirol volleyball team ended the regular season in the Bundesliga as the superior leader. The Tyroleans are the overwhelming favorite for the title this season.
Tirol also lived up to this role in the first game of the semi-final series on Saturday against UVC McDonald’s Ried. Coach Dominik Kefer’s team was only able to open the first set.
Ultimately, the favorite prevailed in their own hall with 25:23. The other two sets each went relatively clearly to the home side at 25:15.
