Turkey: Something interesting in Efeler Ligi – Spor Toto No.1 in the standings!

Spor Toto is, undoubtedly, the hit of the Turkish Volleyball: the team from Ankara took over the right to compete in the 2019/20 AXA Sigorta Efeler Ligi regular season from Maliye Piyango and thus, they are making their debut in the country’s top division. And what a debut it is until this moment!
Spor Toto downed nine-time champions Halkbank at home in four sets (13:25, 25:23, 30:28, 28:26) to come in first in the standings with a 5-0 score and 15 points. At this moment, they are one of the three undefeated teams in the competition. On the other hand, Halkbank are closer to fighting for Efeler Ligi survival than fighting for a playoff spot (1-4).
Ugandan Daudi Okello had one more a fantastic performance, scoring 28 points for Spor Toto, and in addition he is currently the top scorer of the league when it comes to the points per set (6.24) and third-best scorer overall (106 points).
