Dresdner SC Strengthens their Volleyball Squad with Pia Timmer
The Dresdner SC volleyball team has beefed up their ranks by securing the services of outside attacker Pia Timmer. In a statement issued on Tuesday, the six-time German champions revealed that the 22-year-old will be joining them, having completed her stint at Washington State University. Timmer has put pen to paper on a deal that will see her wear the Dresden colors until the end of the season.
This move is a response to the extended absences of Juliette Fidon-Lebleu and Mika Grabavica, both of whom are undergoing knee surgery. The DSC coaching staff sees the arrival of Timmer as an opportunity to inject some much-needed resilience into their wing position. With her keen game intelligence and infectious energy, Timmer is expected to add a fresh dynamic to the team.
Hailing from Nordhorn, Timmer honed her skills with second-division club SCU Emlichhein until 2019, before heading across the pond to continuing her education and volleyball journey in the States. Alexander Waibl, the DSC coach, praised the new recruit, likening her to a breath of fresh air. "Pia will provide some much-needed relief in the wing position," he said, "She possesses a multitude of game intelligence and brings an abundance of emotion and personality to the court."
Die-hard Dresden volleyball fans can catch a glimpse of Timmer's debut when the DSC take on USC Münster on December 30. The highly-anticipated clash marks the last home game of the year for the Dresden squad, and having Timmer onboard should increase their chances of ending the year on a high note.
