Kochi Blue Spikers defeated Hyderabad Black Hawks in straight sets

Kochi Blue Spikers ended their campaign in the third season of the Prime Volleyball League 2024 powered by A23 on a high, defeating the Hyderabad Black Hawks 15-12, 15-12, 15-11 at the Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium, Chennai on Saturday. Jibin Sebastian was named the Player of the Match.

Unforced errors hurt the Hawks, and Aman Kumar’s aggressive serves gave Kochi an early momentum. Jibin and Erin controlled attacks from the lines, while Aman continued to spike from the middle to help Kochi. Ashamat Ullah’s play from the service line helped the Hawks storm back, but Athos’ blocks contained Hyderabad’s attacks and Kochi took an early lead.

Om Vasanth Lad showcased his firing power from the service line as the Blues continued to dominate. Stefan Kovacevic came alive in the second half to provide the Hawks an edge in defence. But Athos led three-man block shackled Hyderabad’s attacks.

Despite Sahil Kumar earning his side a super point, Kochi controlled the play to remain on course to their first win.
