Even if, in the decisive part, the hosts, sparked by the local fans, started to chase the score, it was already too late. Krystal Rivers outstood with her performance, impressing with strong attacks.
The other player behind the success of Stuttgart was Britt Bongaerts. The Dutch playmaker of the German team led a well-balanced game against her former club. In the second set, Allianz MTV Stuttgart completely demolished their rivals, winning points in impressive five- and four-points streaks to quickly triumph also in the second set.
Having their backs against the wall, ŁKS Commercecon kept the pace with Stuttgart during most of the third part, but from 18-17, the visiting side powered by Rivers prevailed and earned a well-deserved win. River, who scored unbelievable 23 points, was honoured with the MVP award.
