Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Setter Crispin Ntanteteri has vowed to win his first national league title after Rwanda Energy Group (REG) Volleyball Club made a strong start to the 2025\/26 volleyball playoffs, defeating Kepler VC in their opening match of the best-of-five series.<\/p>\n

The playoffs, which got underway last weekend, are already producing surprises, with some top-ranked teams struggling in their opening games.<\/p>\n

Among them, Gisagara VC, who topped the regular season standings, suffered a shock four-set defeat to Police VC. Kepler VC, who finished second, also stumbled after losing to REG.<\/p>\n

Ntanteteri, 24, joined REG at the start of the season from Police VC and has been instrumental in the team\u2019s recent performances. Despite the intensity of the playoffs, he remains focused on one goal\u2014winning the title.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy teammates and I are taking it step by step toward this year\u2019s trophy. I missed this opportunity last season with Police VC, and I believe this is another chance to achieve that goal,\u201d he Times Sport.<\/p>\n

REG head into the playoffs on the back of improved form after an inconsistent second phase of the regular season, during which they lost four of their 16 matches. However, they regained momentum with a convincing 3\u20131 victory over APR VC (19\u201325, 25\u201318, 25\u201323, 25\u201320), boosting confidence ahead of the postseason.<\/p>\n

With no time to rest, playoff action resumes on Tuesday, March 16, with all matches scheduled at Petit Stade.<\/p>\n
