Only three days after losing the rematch of the 2018 CEV Challenge Cup finals to Bunge Ravenna, the top-seed Olympiacos earned a promotion to the Volleyleague 17-18 playoff semifinals.

The “red and white” claimed Game 2 to win the series of the quarterfinals against No.8 Pamvochaikos by a 2-0. Interestingly, this was the 18th consecutive triumph of Olympiacos over Pamvochaikos.

The Bulgarian Todor Aleksiev topped the winning side with 20 points, while the Dutchman Jeroen Rauwerdink made 73% reception (11 digs, 2 errors, 64% excellent). Nikos Palentzas scored 25 points for Pamvochaikos, including 7 aces!

The best-of-five semifinals bracket:

No.1 Olympiacos S.F.P. vs. No.5 A.O.P. Kifisias

No.2 P.A.O.K. vs. No.3 A.O. Foinikas Syros
