Bogdanka without problems against Czestochowa, finished third before the playoffs

BOGDANKA LUK Lublin finished the regular season with a convincing 3:0 (25:14, 25:13, 25:20) victory over Częstochowa, leaving no doubt about their dominance against an opponent who played without some of their key players.

The guests had a heavily depleted squad without key figures like Patryk Indra and Milad Ebadipour, which made the hosts' task easier. Nevertheless, at the beginning of the first set, Częstochowa maintained an even game, but a series of errors and Lublin's better organization quickly led to them building a lead. By the end of the match, the scenario repeated – the hosts dictated the tempo, and the opponent found no arguments to resist.

An interesting moment was the appearance of Mikołaj Sawicki in the game, who returned to the court and delivered a strong series of serves, including one ace.

Bulgarian international Alex Grozdanov performed at a high level as a middle blocker. He scored 6 points, registered a +6 efficiency rating, added 1 block, and impressed with excellent attack efficiency – 71%. His stable presence at the net contributed to Lublin's control, especially in crucial moments of the first two sets.

The top scorer for the winners was Hilaire Henno with 15 points, and the MVP award also went to him. Lublin enters the playoffs in excellent form and with confidence after their decisive performance in their final regular season match.
Thus, with 53 points from 26 matches, Bogdanка secured third place and a spot in the playoffs. Despite the convincing victory, the final opponent for Alex Grozdanov and company in the playoffs will become clear after the remaining four matches are played, as the battle for places from 4th to 8th remains completely open.
