Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Police VC turned the scores in their favor against Kepler VC, claiming the victory in the tiebreak (19\u201325, 25\u201318, 25\u201317, 19\u201325, 15\u201313) in a dramatic match held at Petit Stade on Friday.<\/p>\n

Kepler VC came in the match looking determined to protect its second berth in the regular season. They started brightly and took the first set 25\u201319.<\/p>\n

Fred Musoni\u2019s men were yet to hit the form until setter Brian Melly and opposite hitter Elphas Makuto found their rhythm, helping Police to claim second and third sets 25\u201318 and 25\u201317 respectively.<\/p>\n

The lead put the law enforcers in pole position to win the match. However, Wycliff Dusenge and his teammates rallied back to bring the game even after winning the fourth set 25-19 and force the match into the tiebreak.<\/p>\n

With 13-10 ahead, Police put themselves in a position to win the tiebreak until Kepler scored three straight points to make it 13-13.<\/p>\n

Volleyball prodigy Patrick Ishimwe then rose to the occasion and scored a set point that sealed 15\u201313 in Police VC\u2019s favor.<\/p>\n

It was a sweet win for Police VC captain Eric Kwizera who was returning from injury in October.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we lost this match, it would cost us a lot. But I also thank my teammates for being there me,\u201d Kwizera told Times Sport after the match.<\/p>\n

In other fixtures, Rwanda Energy Group (REG) closed Phase 1 of the league on a high note after defeating APR VC 3\u20132 (25\u201316, 18\u201325, 19\u201325, 25\u201314, 15\u201311).<\/p>\n

Earlier in the day, Kigali Volleyball Club (KVC) swept RP Ngoma in three straight sets (29\u201327, 25\u201321, 25\u201316) at Ecole Notre Dame des Anges.<\/p>\n

In the women\u2019s category, APR WVC closed the phase unbeaten after defeating Rwanda Revenue Authority (RRA) 3\u20130 (25\u201321, 25\u201321, 25\u201312) in their sixth and final game of the phase.<\/p>\n
