As expected, the BR Volleys won their first game after parting ways with head coach Joel Banks. The German volleyball champion beat SV Warnemünde 3-1 (24:26, 25:20, 25:16, 25:14) and moved within one win of league leaders SVG Lüneburg.
The volleys were supervised for the first time by the previous assistant coaches Alexandre Leal and Markus Steuerwald one day after coach Banks left. After narrowly losing the first set, the favorite completed his task confidently. On Sunday the pursuit duel in Berlin with the Grizzlys Giesen takes place.
