France: Sète and Paris win advances of Round 18

Two advances valid for Round 18 of French Ligue A were played yesterday, in which Sète and Paris won in straight sets against Ajaccio and Nice respectively.
In the first match, convincing home victory for Sète, despite a combative Ajaccio, especially in part of the first set and in the third, in which the last-placed also wasted two set points (ended 28:26). Czech outside-hitter Kamil Baranek was deservedly awarded MVP of the match with 14 points and 62% in attack (with one winning block and 3 of Sète’s aces), while Robin Overbeeke was the only player in a double digit for Ajaccio with 14 points too, including one winning block and three aces.
