Title decision postponed: The steel volleys are back in the game

Game 4 instead of championship celebration: The Oberbank Steelvolleys Linz-Steg made an impressive statement in the best-of-5 final series of the Austrian League with a 3-1 (23, 17, -13, 19) victory over TI-Volley in Innsbruck back. This was also due to a significant increase in the Legionnaires’ ranks: Brooke Botkin was the top scorer with 19 points, and Jamie Stivers (16) and Emily Zinger (13) were also convincing.

“We had nothing to lose, we weren’t nervous. It felt so good. We played with heart, I’m really proud of everyone,” said Andrea Duvnjak happily.

With the score at 1:2 from the Linzers’ perspective, the game continues on Monday (8:20 p.m., ORF Sport+) on SMS Kleinmünchen. Everything is still inside.

The Tyroleans, who had previously won the Supercup and the Cup, had prepared everything for a big party. Nothing came of it. There were even a few tears of disappointment. “We couldn’t play our game as we wanted. Steg put us under pressure,” said TI volley chairman Michael Falkner.
