Although Tourcoing started 2023/24 Marmara Spike League in an impeccabile way securing 6 wins in a row in first 6 games of French elite competion, thing changed in last two clashes.
After surprisingly losing against Nice in the game that closed Round 7, today they suffered another defeat against Toulose in a direct clash for the top position in the current charts.
The advance of Round 8 started with the hosts, Toulouse, able to defeat Tourcoing with the score of 3-1 (25:19, 25:17, 16:25, 25:23), with 19 points from MVP Julien Winkelmuller, all in attack, through 63% efficiency, but double digit also for Maxime Hervoir and Tom Picard, who also contributed with 15 and 14 points, respectively.
Top scorer of the game, however, Argentine opposite Pablo Koukartsev who scored 23 points through 50% in attack including one a block and one ace.
With this result, Nantes remain to the top of the standings with 19 points (they’ll face Tours on Sunday), and with the same number of points of Toulouse, great today also to stage comeback in fourth set from 11-16 and then also from 15-21, followed by Chaumont and Tourcoing, now with 18, but with the first one who will play on the field of Plessis Robinson.
