France: Round 13 continues - 3 points for Chaumont, Tours and Saint Nazaire. 2 for Montpellier

After the advance played yesterday, in which Toulouse down Nice in four sets, Round 13 of 2024/25 Marmara Spike League continued today with other 4 games.
With leaders Tourcoing who have a dayoff this weekend, but continue to dominate regular season with 31 points, Chaumont continue their path with a clean 0-3 (21:25, 17:25, 23:25) win on the field of Poitiers,
with 22 points from an excellent Pierre Toledo (1 ace, 3 blocks and an impressive 72% in attack), and 16 from Mathis Henno. As a result, the players around head coach Silvano Prandi fly to second place at -3 from the rivals, also taking advantage from the result of Montpellier, at third place and -1 from Chaumont after a 2-3 (25:22, 27:29, 25:22, 18:25, 8:15) victory on the field of a combative Cannes.
Dimitar Dimitrov, absolute top scorer of the match, left the court with 33 points to his name through 52% in attack, 2 blocks and 3 aces.
And this was third win in as many games in 8 days for Montpellier!
Predictions respected also on the match between last-placed Plessis Robinson and Tours, in which the visitor side celebrate a clear 0-3 (24:26, 19:25, 18:25) success, struggling only in first set, to take their seventh win in a row counting all competition!
Now at 5th place at -1 from Poitiers, once again they were led in score by Hermans Egleskalns, author of 16 points through 56% in attack and 1 ace.
3 points also for titleholders Saint Nazaire, who won on the field of Narbonne by 1-3 (20:25, 21:25, 28:26, 19:25) reaching the 10th place in the standings, mostly thanks to a great performance from the service line, recording 11 aces, and a better performance in attack (65% to 50%).
Round 13 will close tomorrow with the last scheduled game between Sète and Paris.
