SC Potsdam Signs New Outside Hitter Amid Injury Struggles

In a crucial move ahead of the transfer window closing for this season, SC Potsdam has announced the signing of a new outside hitter, 22-year-old Lara Darowski, from the league's bottom team, Schwarz-Weiß Erfurt. This decision comes in response to the significant injury sustained by Jade Cholet, who will be sidelined for several months due to a torn ACL.

Standing at 1.84 meters, Darowski is expected to fill the gap left by Cholet as the team looks to strengthen its lineup ahead of the playoffs and the upcoming European cup semi-finals. The club's managing director, Eugen Benzel, emphasized the necessity of this new addition, stating that it is crucial for the team's competitiveness in the remaining matches of the season.

Expressing her enthusiasm for the opportunity, Darowski highlighted her eagerness to compete at a higher level in Potsdam. The team, currently placed fifth in the Bundesliga standings, has faced challenges this year, failing to secure a victory in any of their five matches thus far in 2025. The addition of Darowski aims to revitalize the squad and improve their performance as they aim for success in both the domestic league and European competitions.

SC Potsdam will hope that the fresh talent and energy brought in by Darowski can help turn their season around and provide the necessary boost to advance through the playoffs and into the latter stages of the European tournaments.
