Tonight (Saturday), Hapoel Kfar Saba completed a second victory in the semifinal series against Maccabi Ashdod, after beating the Southerners 0: 3 at home. Now, with the champion leading 1: 2, she is a single victory away from reaching the final, where the trophy holder, Maccabi Haifa, who, as mentioned, defeated Hapoel Urbani Kiryat Ata 0: 3, is waiting for her.
In tonight’s game, Yaakov Hershko’s players dominated the first two sets and won 16:25, 15:25. In the third set, the Kfar Sabaites took a promising 6:10 advantage, but Ashdod showed signs of battle, and reduced the difference to 9:10. Hannah Couture and Anna Wiliki helped widen the gap for the champion, but the guest, much thanks to Anastasia Grechnia, managed to equalize at 20:20. The game went into a tiebreaker, and thanks to two points from Marcella Korea and Couture, the host won the campaign itself, and the entire game. The fourth game in the series will be held in Ashdod this coming Monday at 20:30, where it will be seen whether the team from the south will be able to drag the series to the fifth game, or whether KPS will close a story and return to the finals once again.
Hapoel Kafas excelled: Wiliki with 19 points and Korea with 13.
Maccabi Ashdod excelled: Anna Dubgoflyuk with 17 points and Grecnia with 7.
