Serbia vs Türkiye Highlights Week 3 Women s VNL 2025

Serbia in blue, Turkey in red. We are underway. Rob Snook alongside Selima Rockwell with Matt Prosser and the first serve of the match. A little too much energy out of bounds. Zehra Gunesh takes it deep at Uzalats. Here's the back row attack from Boscovic, goes off of Sinead Jack Kissel and Karakurt. I don't know who hit it last, but they're starting with her in the back row. So an interesting. Her guess, hard serve at Jagdbech. Here's Uzalats, nice play, block out. Serbia in scoring in the first week, couldn't play the second. She's come back to make a nice impact here in the third week. Mazda missed, backslide for Kissel, and she is running into the block. Balls pass a little bit off the net, and they're there, get set, two blockers on that slide. Six serving, seven opening set. Turkiye, Serbia, last game in Apeldoorn. Karakurt puts it up, quick through the middle. Gunesh dogs smartly. Ivanovic coming, tipping, picked up by Ozdemir. She's out. The set, the libero wants it. And that's probably why the set wasn't so good. And Serbia takes advantage right there. We'll take a look at this tip, a good pickup. And both players are there. A little hesitation, she doesn't get the set she quite wants. Ivanovic's serve, taken by Karakurt. She's going to get a swing, and her pass court inside the attack line. Middle blocker, or Karakurt's going to come in. Look how wide she gets out there. Comes in at that angle, drops the thumb down. Sinead Jack Kissel, Vjekvic the take, Mirkovic the set, Ivanovic the attack. It's just over on the free ball. Quick block. And Gunesh reads this and dives in. She looks at the setter. Sinead Jack Kissel's serve at Vjekvic again. Boscovic could pick up Ozdemir. So Kissel sets it. Vargas swings it. Nobody. Perfectly to Vargas, who sees the block and it's right outside. Here comes Tijana Boscovic's big left handed serve. Takes it off the top of the net. Gunesh, shot down. Aleksic is all over it. Planned. Good execution. Orga with a perfect up to Ozdemir. Here's Karakurt, and she gets blocked again. Aleksic and Mirkovic over there. Turki has got to go high and stop trying to hit that. Still set point. Still six of them. Boscovic, and that's going to do it for the opening set. A rejuvenated, inspired, organized. There's how it ended. So fitting with Boscovic ending the play, but they passed well. Here we go. Set number two. Turki in red, serving Serbia in blue. Mirkovic sets it up for Ivanovic, and she's got a touch. And the leading scorer of Serbia throughout the VNL. Here comes Zaprak to bring it in from the baseline at Ivanovic. Here's Boscovic. And that's beautiful. Still, it's Boscovic finding the area of the court that's available. Aleksic at Orga. Here's Karakurt. Here's Jack Kissel. He needed that one for her own. Kordogic came back really well to try to get involved there, almost did. Uzalac, but she's shut down this time from Gunes and Ozdemir. Any angle, any seam, both blockers getting in that seam perfectly. Hands are right next to one another. Attackers on the right side of the court. 12 serving 10. Serbia trying to take control of the second set the way they did the first. Zaprak bringing the heat, says no way. Dugan readying for the ball, expects it to come to her from Boscovic. She takes it beautifully. Middle attack from Jack Kissel. Outside attack from Zaprak, Serbia ready there. Boscovic from behind the attack line. Shut down by Zaprak to just maybe a tiny bit higher. You don't think? No, I think she gave her the thumbs up. That was OK. Boscovic, that was perfect. Pretty much all the way around for a potential repeat attack. And then she's gone. Deacon. Meanwhile, Turkey wants the gap to get closer. Absolutely. And a Jack Kissel on Ivanovic. Uzalac, good job by Turkey to get hands on it. Here's Deacon trying to tool the block. Oh, it's an overset from Boscovic. Now that stay up doesn't matter because it went down off Gunes and maybe Ozdemir. Part of that Olympic squad last year. Here's Boscovic, good hands on the ball. Orga's going to set it. Vargas can't score it. Might get another chance. Yes and yes. Off the block. And save us all a minute and a half that we would never get back. Middle attack. Butch, you said it. She can do it. When you really need a point, you go to number 18. Get blocked. Ivanovic and Aleksic shutting down Vargas. My goodness. Twenty five. Twenty. None. This was how it was done. The block in the perfect spot, lined up, taking away both the line and the cross. Vargas had nowhere to go against this discipline block of Serbia. That heavily taped hand. Here we go. Set number three. Serbia in blue, serving Turkey in red. Ozdemir sets Vargas, tools the block and off we go. Here's Uzalac. One one tie. Third set, Serbia in control. And because of plays like that, the best blocker in the Champions League, Kordogic doing that over and reading the play. My goodness, it is just here to win three games in the final week of the VNL. They let go of it. Arlis Mirkovic sets it up for Boscovich. They recycle it again. Uzalac says she wants to set. Kept alive. They recycle again for Ivanovic. And we got a net touch on Turkey and we started playing this week. Yeah, well, she was there on the sidelines. She hasn't really been dominating this game. She just makes everyone else better, makes everything good. The middle attack from Kessel. Top four scorers in the game all belong to Serbia. Yaprak, that'll score. Maja Eleksic, ten point game for her already. Yaprak, nice take from Ivanovic. Uzalac, Karakur from the right side, dug by Mirkovic. Good set by Eleksic, but Boscovic is dug. Here's Yaprak. Again, Ivanovic, Boscovic, Uzalac, free ball chance. Turkiye, can they use it? Not yet. Uzalac. Kept alive. Ozdemir feeds Yaprak, gets it off the hands. Turkiye finally gives this wonderful crowd something to cheer about. 19. Turkiye wants to keep Serbia off 20 as long as they can. Mirkovic tries to dump. Orga jumps in to set for Karakur, and she wins. The joust and wins the point for Turkiye. Slip down to Mirkovic. Good pick up from Shaheen. Karakur tries to tip. That works. It'll work a couple of times. 16 serving 20. Jagdic with a good up. Uzalac gets a touch. 21-16. That would give Serbia four players in double. Shaheen couldn't score, and it's. And yes, some fans are headed to the exits. Shaheen, Karakur off hands. Saves the game for another point. Nice, nice. The veteran looking for a solid serve. And that's it. That's all. Tijana Boscovic pours in another one, and Team Serbia ends the VNL with a sweep of Turkiye.
