In Ganja, Azerbaijan, the Dutch side had to work hard against the “Yellow Tigers” to notch the first win in EuroVolley 2017 as they trailed after the first set.

Lonneke Slöetjes pushed The Netherlands toward triumph with 17 points, followed by Maret Balkestein-Grothues, who made 14. Nicole Koolhaas was the element of surprise in the Dutch National Team. She noted 4 kill blocks, which was exactly the half of all her points today. In Belgium, Lise van Hecke scored 15 points.

In Pool B, in Tbilisi, Georgia, the Belarusian National Team stunned Croatia in the tie-break after making an incredible comeback from 0-2 in sets! Croatia committed nearly half more errors than their opponents, 32-17. Thus, they annulled the advantage in blocking (16-8) and in the attack (48%-39%).

Tatsiana Markevich fired 15 points, while Aksana Kavalchuk added 14 for Belarus. In Croatia, Katarina Barun-Šušnjar scored 26, Samanta Fabris collected 23.
