USC Münster breaks the 18-year-old curse and moves into the DVV Cup final!

A tension-charged volleyball duel ended last night in the Berg Fidel sports hall when the USC Münster defeated the Ladies in Black from Aachen 3-0 and thus secured the ticket for the DVV Cup final on March 2, 2025 in Mannheim. The victory was played out in three tight sentences (25:16, 25:20, 27:25) and marked the first time since 2006 that Münster is in the final, like Sportschau.de reported. The Aacheners bravely offered resistance, but could not stop the superiority of the Münster people. Especially in the crucial third set, the ladies in Black had a guided tour of seven points, but the hosts mobilized their strength and converted their first match ball after a dramatic final phase.

The Ladies in Black had to accept a bitter defeat after this game, which according to coach Mareike Hindriksen was due to a lack of consistency and many mistakes. "We just weren't constant in our game and always made too many mistakes," she said after the game. Nicole van de Vosse also thought thoughtfully about the team's performance: "I don't even know what to say and cannot explain exactly what happened today", how aachener-zeitung.de reported.

For the Ladies in Black, the league fight against VC Wiesbaden will follow on Saturday, where success is urgently needed to restore morality after this defeat. However, the fans may prepare for an improved performance. Van de Vosse remains optimistic: "New game, new happiness, we can do it better."
