    THY will make their Champions League all-time debut in Novara, as the club is at first participation in the most prestigious European Cup.

    It's the first game ever in Italy for THY Istanbul. During their previous European campaigns they have never matched up with an Italian club.

    “It is a special feeling to play against my former team, THY Istanbul. I know them, I know that they are a great team and will do their best to give us troubles, but I am confident that we can fight hard and achieve a victory. I am very excited about starting this European campaign”

    Match Report

    Igor Gorgonzola NOVARA start their 6th #CLVolleyW campaign on the right foot

    Article 25 November 2021

    The 2019 #CLVolleyW champions Igor Gorgonzola NOVARA faced THY ISTANBUL in the last match of the 1st Leg in this edition of Europe's elite club competition. For the Turkish team it was a debut in this event and although they lost in straight sets, the teams produced an intense match. The hosts opened the game fully focused, dominating in all components. Novara's setter Micha Hancock led a well-balanced game having Haleigh Washington, Nika Daalderop and Ebrar Karakut as top scorers. The match against Istanbul was special for Karakut, who spent last season playing for THY, but this motivated her even more. The second set was a way more competitive, but despite great spikes from Kiera van Ryk, THY Istanbul couldn't find a way to neutralise the power of Novara. They were close to achieve their goal in the third set, as constantly chasing the score they managed to tie even in the decisive part. But with nerves of steel Novara showed no mercy grabbing a straight-set win after 85 minutes of play. Nika Daalderop and Kiera van Ryk shared the top scorer honours with 13 points apiece, but it was Ebrar Karakut with 12 points to be named MVP as she contributted the most in crucial moments of the game.
