Easy win for Galatasaray in Athens
Ukrainian-born Natalia Hanikoglu stood out for Galatasaray in defense with a great 75% of efficiency while Hungary’s Katalin Kiss top scored for the home side with 8 points. The game was played in a fantastic atmosphere with some 3’000 fans in attendance who never stopped cheering on the home girls who were enjoying their first appearance in the quarterfinals of the European Cups.
In the next round Galatasaray will be playing a team coming down from the prelims of the 2012 CEV Volleyball Champions League, namely Crvena Zvezda BEOGRAD.
