Golden Set propels Mladost into #CLVolleyW 2nd Round
News
Despite losing their re-match with CV GRAN CANARIA 1-3, Mladost ZAGREB secured their spot in the 2nd Round of the women’s CEV Champions League Volley 2022 by virtue of their 15-9 win in the all-important Golden Set. Their next opponent will be Switzerland’s Viteos NEUCHATEL UC.
This was the first home CEV Champions League match for Mladost in a very long time after last year they had to forfeit their fixture due to a COVID-19 outbreak. Moreover, it was the first official match with Mladost for youngster Aurora Papac – a player born in 2005. After a long time, there were some spectators – about 100 – at the sports hall Dom odbojke Bojan Stranić.
Klara Peric“CV GRAN CANARIA started the match much better than we did – they were well-prepared, especially from a tactical standpoint. Even though we struggled at some point, I can only say that we gave our maximum. Many thanks to our opponent for playing such a good match.”
