Lanza with 25 points (63% in attack) and Nemec with 23 (2 aces and 3 blocks) were the main architects of a 3-1 home victory at the expense of Ankara. Double digit as well for Kaziyiski with 12 points, while the top scorer for the Turkish were Rouzier (22) and Ferreira (18).

“We have scheduled on lot of games in this period to accelerate the process of team building – explained coach Radostin Stoytchev – I do realize it is not easy to always be at our best but tonight I am happy with what Lanza and Nemec did. The other players have not been as brilliant, but it’s fine. We need those tests to get better, we have so much work to do yet to find our best form. But we have time to do so”.
