Tours VB made a powerful statement on Saturday as they outclassed Poitiers 3-1 in the first leg of the Marmara SpikeLigue playoff finals.
Backed by an outstanding performance from Alexandre Strehlau (14 pts, 65% attack, 67% reception) and Ryan Sclater (18 pts, 63% attack), Tours took control early and maintained their edge throughout the match in Poitiers. The reigning giants claimed the sets 19-25, 25-20, 23-25, and 19-25, putting themselves in prime position for a return to the final — and a potential 10th national crown.
