Hyderabad, Oct 11 (PTI) Bengaluru Torpedoes continued their winning run in the Prime Volleyball League defeating Kochi Blue Spikers 13-15, 17-15, 15-9, 15-12 here on Saturday.
Abhishek CK provided the early
flair to Kochi’s attacks, but the Torpedoes matched their intensity with Sethu’s super serve. Bengaluru Torpedoes captain and setter Matthew West continued his form with his distribution, keeping his side in the game.
Nitin Minhas’ monster block earned coach David Lee’s side a crucial super point. But Kochi’s smart review call pulled back a point for his side.
Erin Varghese kept the intensity up for Kochi despite the Torpedoes relying on Joel Benjamin and Jalen Penrose to put back the pressure. An injury to setter Byron Keturakis affected Kochi’s momentum.
The Torpedoes found their way back, with Penrose growing more dangerous by the minute. Unforced errors from Kochi increased, further piling on their troubles. Sethu joined in on the attack in the front court to tilt the game Torpedoes’ way.
Aravindh made an impression on the court for the Spikers. But his efforts were too little, too late as Bengaluru continued to test the opposition’s defence. A thunderous spike from Joel earned Bengaluru Torpedoes their third win in a row. PTI AH BS BS
