AUD’s Volleyball Knights Spiked Their Way to First Place

In the best of three set match the AUD girls managed to win the sets required under the leadership of their captain Bojana Mitrovic.

In the first set both teams fought to keep their side in the lead until the score reached (23-23).

UAEU had the ball as their number 9 Nawal Alhmoudi served the ball over to AUD’s side of the court; Mitrovic received, Yara El Zein set and Mitrovic spiked the ball straight down into the center of the court giving AUD the match point (24-23). Finally, Mitrovic spiked the ball into the court of UAEU, thus giving AUD the win of the first set at (25-23).

The second set started off with a serve from UAEU as their number 7 Salama Mubarak hit it over the net. Beatriz Flores received the serve and El Zein set it over to Mitrovic, who spiked it into UAEU’s court giving AUD the first point of the second set (0-1). Yara El Zein served five times continuously which gave AUD a 6-point lead (0-6). The second set was over before it started as AUD’s Bojana spiked the ball for the last point ending the game at (4-25).

“I think the final went pretty well, we lost our focus in the first set but in the second we got it back and won it AUD style,” Bojana Mitrovic AUD’s captain and acting coach said to the MBRSC Post.

“This was a very nice game, we enjoyed the game very much,” UAEU’s coach Ma.Lourdes Palomo said to the MBRSC Post. “The game at first was very tight and I was very proud of our team.”
