Overview
- Germany opened its Volleyball Nations League stop in Québec with a 3-1 win over host Canada, taking sets 28-26, 22-25, 25-18 and 25-18.
- The team then suffered a 2-3 loss to Ukraine, dropping the tiebreak 13-15 after surrendering two set points in the second set.
- Newcomer Leana Grozer was a key attacker, scoring 24 points in the Canada match and 22 against Ukraine, with Emilia Weske adding 21 in the latter game.
- Coach Giulio Bregoli and captain Camilla Weitzel remain focused on building consistency in Québec where Germany still faces Japan and the USA in the pool phase.
- Reaching the VNL Final Eight in China remains the season target and strong early form will shape preparation for the women’s European Championship in Turkey this summer.
