After the advance played yesterday, in which Paris won at tie break the derby against Plessis Robinson, Round 11 of 2023/24 Marmara Spike League has been closed today with the other 6 games.
Thanks to a great win on the field of No.3 Montpellier, 1-3 (25:18, 15:25, 22:25, 22:25), Chaumont, with a great performance in attack (64% to 48% and an excellent Niko Suihkonen, top scorer with 16 points to his name through 74% in attack, 1 ace and 1 block), remain to the top of the standings now at +2 from second-placed Nantes, who today won at tie break against a very good Poitiers (28:26, 25:20, 17:25, 27:29, 17:15) after 2 hours and 25 minutes of play.
Chizoba Neves Atu scored 27 points for the winners through 54% in attack including 3 aces and 3 winning blocks, while for Poitiers top scorer Metin Toy (28 points with 2 aces, 3 blocks and 59% in attack) and Alexandros Raptis with 20 were not enough.
3 points for Saint Nazaire, who managed to defeat Sète by 3-1 (23:25, 25:14, 25:23, 25:22) despite 28 points from Celestin Cardin (53% in attack and 5 of his team’s 6 aces), and for Toulouse, who won newcomers Saint-Jean d’Illac in straight sets (25:22, 25:16, 25:23).
Straight sets win also fir titleholders Tours who, after a disastrous start of the season, celebrated their third success in a row by destroying Tourcoing (25:16, 25:19, 25:18) after just one hour and 12 minutes of play, with 9 aces, 69% of team performance in attack, and 16 points each from Aboubacar Drame Neto (61% in attack, 3 aces and 2 blocks) and Märt Tammearu (65% in attack and 5 aces).
Close the picture the first seasonal win of Narbonne over a disappointing Nice, 3-1 (22:25, 26:24, 25:22, 25:17), with 21 points from Edson Valencia with 2 aces, 2 blocks and 61% in attack.
