Royal Family bids adieu to Lüneburg

Seeing SVG Luneburg Off in the Royal Class Champions League Exit

- Royal Family bids adieu to Lüneburg

The SVG Luneburg volleyball squad, as anticipated, bid adieu in the Champions League quarterfinals following a 1:3 defeat to CMC Zawiercie, coached by the German national team's Michal Winiarski. After a 0:3 loss at their home turf, LKH-Arena, in the first round, the Lower Saxony team couldn't manage a victory in their return match either, ending the series 3:1 (19:25, 19:25, 25:23, 20:25).

The outcome was sealed swiftly after losing the second set. A 3:0 or 3:1 win from SVG, led by coach Stefan Hübner, could've extended the series to a "Golden Set."

Advancing to the Champions League quarterfinals marked the second significant international achievement for SVG, following their CEV Cup final appearance the previous year.

Now, their sights are set on the Bundesliga playoffs against Freiburg.

Post their Champions League exit, Luneburg's attention turns to the Bundesliga playoffs. As the second-place team in the regular season, they'll duke it out with FT 1844 Freiburg in the quarterfinals. The matches will take place on March 24 in Luneburg and March 28 in Freiburg. If necessary, a third encounter will be held on April 2 at SVG.

Potential semifinal opponents could be VfB Friedrichshafen or Powervolleys Duren. A clash with defending champions, BR Volleys, is only possible in the final series.
