The first phase of the Women’s Volleyball Superliga has come to an end. This Tuesday (24), Sesc RJ Flamengo defeated Mackenzie 3-0, with set scores of 25-15, 25-22, and 25-16. With the result, the Most Beloved secured first place and will face the eighth-ranked team in the quarterfinals, which is precisely the Minas Gerais side.
On December 19, Flamengo beat Mackenzie 3-1 in Belo Horizonte. Then, this Tuesday (24), the teams faced each other again in the second half of the first phase. The match was crucial for Mengão to stay on top, since Minas still had a chance to take over first place. On the other hand, the visitors could have moved up one spot, climbing to seventh.
Playing at Tijuca Tênis Clube, Flamengo imposed itself the way a Superliga leader should. Without any scares, Bernardinho’s team won the first set 25-15. In the second, there was more balance, and Mengão had to work hard, closing it out 25-22. In the third, the most unlikely scenario unfolded.
The set started completely even, and the tie lasted until 11-11. After that, Flamengo found its rhythm and steamrolled the opposing team. As a result, the Rubro-Negro closed the set at 25-16 and sealed first place in the regular season.
The Women’s Superliga quarterfinals will take place between March 30 and 31 (Game 1), and April 2 and 3 (Game 2). If necessary, the third and decisive match will be played on April 7 or 8. The competition’s grand final will be held on the May 1 holiday.
