The VSU handball team won third place among the women’s teams in the Voronezh Region Universiade for the first time since 2016. The girls performed excellently and defended the honour of the university.
The team was coached by Evgeniya Kozyreva, a teacher at the Department of Physical Education and Sports.
“It was hard, but everything is possible. We stayed focused, played as a strong team, and it all worked out! We discussed tactics before each game. Our main rule is that if someone is “blocked”, we need to help, get the ball, and fight for it. We always stand up for each other, so a personal defeat is a defeat for the whole team. In the team, there are girls who have just joined us this year, and they fit right in. Playing as a team is the most important thing,” said team captain Lada Trubacheva.
