Canada is now 1-2 after loss to Poland

 

KRAKOW, Poland, May 27, 2018 – Young middle blocker Jakub Kochanowski put on a superb all-round performance for Poland in Krakow to help the home team master a 3-1 (25-21, 26-24, 21-25, 25-17) victory over Canada and up their win-loss record to 3-0 in the 2018 FIVB Volleyball Nations League.

 

Shining from the serving line, Kochanowski contributed three aces, to which he added four stuff blocks and eight spikes for an overall tally of 15 points, one fewer than the top scorer of the match Damian Schulz.

 

Two more Polish players reached the double digits. Aleksander Sliwka tallied 15 points, while captain Michal Kubiak scored 14 times.

 

Stephen Timothy Maar was the most prolific player on the other side of the net, making 12 points for Canada, all in offence.

 

The fans on the stands once again created a fantastic atmosphere at Tauron Arena. Understanding that their support was essential to the success of the young Polish squad, they never stopped being involved in the match and helped the White-and-Red on the way to their 12th victory in 12 matches against Canada.
