Top men's volleyball team Poland shows resolve worthy of its standing, stunning Slovenia with a five-set escape from two down, while the Netherlands stays in playoff contention.
MANILA, Philippines – Top-ranked men’s volleyball team Poland showed why it holds that distinction in the world rankings, stunning world No. 8 Slovenia in a five-set reverse sweep, 29-31, 21-25, 25-20, 25-20, 15-13, in the 2023 Volleyball Nations League at the Mall of Asia Arena on Wednesday, July 5.
As both sides traded nerve-wracking service errors resulting in a 13-12 Poland lead, Jakub Kochanowski broke his team’s tiny breathing window open with a match point-forcing kill, 14-12. “The games against them are always tough for us and for them as well, so we expected a tough game, a good fight by them.”
Meanwhile, world No. 10 the Netherlands bucked a third-set loss to down world No. 15 Canada in four, 25-22, 25-22, 17-25, 25-18.
