The victory puts Commercecon in a strong position to end the regular season in first place as they not only passed DevelopRes to make it the top of the standings by getting to 52 points, one more than their rivals, but also have one game in hand, having the ability to extend their advantage to as many as four points.

The match had the same score of the encounter between the teams in the first round of the regular season, which was also won by Commercecon, the only team to top DevelopRes in the domestic season so far. It happened two weeks after their encounter in the Polish Cup final, which was won by the Rzeszów side.

On Sunday, opposite Weronika Gierszewska was a force for Commercecon, leading the team with 21 points (17 kills, four blocks) and taking home the match’s MVP award. The team also had outside hitters Natalia Mędrzyk (15) and Lana Ščuka (10) and middle blockers Anna Obiała (14) and Klaudia Alagierska (13) all getting to double digits in scoring.

DevelopRes had in team captain and outside hitter Monika Fedusio their leading scorer with 17 points (16 kills, one ace), followed by Brazilian opposite Bruna Honorio, who tallied 16 (13 kills, two blocks, one ace). Dutch outside hitter Marrit Jasper and middle blocker Weronika Centka-Tietianiec produced ten points each.

Radomka into the playoffs

The ninth leg of the second round of the regular season also confirmed one more team in the playoffs - MOYA Radomka Radom, which won their match and got to 27 points and are now set to join Commercecon, DevelopRes, PGE Grot Budowlani Łódź (47) and BKS BOSTIK ZGO Bielsko-Biała (42) in the postseason.

Radomka confirmed their presence in the playoffs in the first match of the week, on Thursday, when they topped UNI Opole 3-1 (25-19, 25-18, 19-25, 25-20) on the road, with star opposite Monika Gałkowska delivering 18 points (15 kills, three blocks).

On Monday, Metalkas Pałac Bydgoszcz had a great opportunity to do the same, facing 14th-placed Energa MKS Kalisz on the road, but they lost 3-1 (25-22, 22-25, 25-20, 25-23) and continued with 23 points, inside the qualification zone, but not yet guaranteed.

The weekly schedule in the country also had defending champions LOTTO Chemik Police beating Sokół & Hagric Mogilno 3-0 (25-17, 25-13, 25-12) on Friday and Budowlani topping #VolleyWrocław 3-0 (25-17, 25-15, 26-24) and ITA TOOLS STAL Mielec upsetting Bielsko-Biała 3-1 (25-18, 25-19, 16-25, 25-20) on Saturday.

The tenth leg of the second round of the regular season will feature six matches from Friday to Monday in the country.
