Eczacibasi scores away win in Italy
The hosts started pretty well and dictated the rhythm of the game for the first set where the guests were not able to claw back and Lucia Bosetti eventually sealed it by scoring the last point.
And during that last rally of the opening set middle blocker Martina Guiggi got injured and she eventually was replaced by Federica Stufi.
Eczacibasi took many risks from the serving zone and set the pace in set 2 while the remainder of the match was extremely balanced, with both teams showing off great skills in attack.
Sarah Pavan won the duel with Eczacibasi opposite player Neslihan Darnel but Cuban-born Mirka Francia eventually top scored in the match with 21 points.
She also played a very important role in the tie-break helping Eczacibasi take home the game.
“I am very happy not only with the win but also with the quality we displayed tonight. I am sure that VILLA CORTESE will continue its European campaign with more success” said the head coach of Eczacibasi, Lorenzo Micelli.
