A. Carraro Imoco CONEGLIANO continue the winning streak after securing their fourth straight-set victory in Pool B. With 12 points in the table, the Italian club keep a strong first position. Their opponent, Slovenian Calcit Volley KAMNIK, suffer another loss as the team is yet to record a victory in this season of the Champions League.

Calcit Volley KAMNIK opened the match with a small point gap at 8-6, but CONEGLIANO soon turned the match into their advantage. Italians led in all elements, scoring 12 and 6 points in block and serve respectively to only 3 and 1 of their Slovenian opponent. Italians approached the game without their star Paola Egonu, but that did not tarnish their motivation against KAMNIK. Lucille Gicquel led the team in the first part of the match, but it was McKenzie Adams who was named the best player of the match overall, scoring 16 points, including 4 in block and 10 in attack. Her team-mate Bozana Butigan added 5 points in block, becoming the best blocker in the match. On the other side of the net Eva Zatković scored 6 points for her team. Despite being weakened by the absence of their outside spiker Polona Marusic who tested positive for the coronavirus ahead of the team’s journey to France, KAMNIK are determined to continue their fight in the upcoming two games.

• Imoco Conegliano recorded their 43rd success in a row on Tuesday night in Nantes after winning against Calcit Volley KAMNIK. 

• The Slovenian team is still in search of their first victory in their Champions League journey.

• The step was too high for the players of the coach JEMEC, even if the Italian base six was re-worked with, to be noted, the tenure of the French Lucille Gicquel at the forefront of the Italian attack. Back on the court of Mangin Beaulieu, where she played there for two seasons, she quickly regained her Nantes landmarks, greatly contributing to Imoco's success.

• McKenzie ADAMS who shined brilliantly tonight with 16 points was voted MVP of the game.

• The 2020 world champions of Conegliano were also able to be expeditious against Kamnik to preserve their strength for the rest of the tournament and their future busy schedule in the league. Wolosz's teammates wrapped this first match in Nantes in just 67 minutes.

Raphaela Folie, middle blocker of A. Carraro Imoco CONEGLIANO, who comes back today after more than 4 months of absence:
"I couldn't wait to get back on the field, the day of the return, since unfortunately I'm used to it, is always beautiful, there is a charge and a crazy adrenaline. We start today a little slow, with a lot of mistakes, but luckily we won the first set, then we started playing as we know and there were no problems. Tomorrow we have to play from the beginning as well as at the last sets of this match. "

Aljosa Jemec, head coach Calcit Volley KAMNIK: "Conegliano are great and too strong even with their, let’s say, second line-up. If you don’t play with serve and reception like we did in the first set, the other sets then happen. In both sets, we were not aggressive enough on the serve, so they got the points without any major problems. We know that we are able to play much better, we proved it in the first set, this must be the main point to continue this tournament. We will have another difficult match on Wednesday, as Fenerbahce is much stronger than it was in Treviso."

Eva Pogačar, team captain Calcit Volley KAMNIK: "We wanted to show tonight that we can match them, but it is clear to everyone what level this team is at. In the first set we managed to keep up with them, but later they showed how good a team they are. It was an honour for us to play against a team like Conegliano."
