EC Qualification: Day 1
U18 Boys
Belgium - France: 0-3
The boys started each set well but they lost their lead due to mistakes in their communication. Coach Mieke Moyaert told afterwards that as a team they performed below their level against a very strong France. Now it is especially important to grow further in the tournament and show what we are worth as a team.
U18 Girls
Belgium - Netherlands: 3-1
Coach Yorick Vandevelde's girls started their first match strongly and immediately created a gap. A strong block-defence system kept the Netherlands' attacking force under control. In set 3, the girls experienced a small dip, which they were unable to rectify. In set 4, they finished the match 25-15.
U20 Girls
Belgium - Germany: 3-2
After a difficult start and a 2-0 deficit, our tigers came back to 2-2. In the 5th set they continued the positive line and won it 15-12.
