The players of "Prometey" opened the score in the quarter-final playoff series of the Super League-Dmart against the volleyball players of "Halychanka-ZUNU". They needed three sets to win their debut at this stage of the competition. 

In the opening minutes of the game, the "red and whites" allowed themselves many mistakes, hence the numbers on the scoreboard — 7:3. Two aces by Valeriia Dryomova secured the success of her team. On the equator of the set, the advantage of the Ternopil club reached as many as eight points — 15:7. 

The Kamianske team came to their senses with each new rally. Soon, Svitlana Dorsman successfully attacked at the first pace and reduced the gap to a minimum - 18:17. "Prometey" significantly added in the game on the block. This element helped them turn the tide of the set and take the lead — 18:19. After that, it became clear that the current champion of Ukraine will not let the victory go - 18:25.

The beginning of the second set was also difficult for the representatives of the Dnipropetrovsk region - 4:4. Later, on the serve of Polina Dziuba, who substituted Viktoriia Danchak, her team organized a spurt (0:4). It should be noted that today the functions of the head coach of the "red and whites" Ivan Petkov, were performed by his assistant Denys Zui. The specialist actively used rotation, which did not prevent his team from confidently triumphing - 14:25.

For the third set, the volleyball players of "Halychanka" probably did not have enough strength and emotions. After all, the team simply stopped and in the end managed to earn only ten points.
