France: Round 16 continues – 3 points for Tourcoing, Poitiers and leaders Tours. 2 for Cannes

After the advance played on Thursday, in which Montpellier sweep Plessis-Robinson in straight sets, and the success of Nice over Narbonne, 2025/26 Marmara Spike League Round 16 continued today with other four games, all won by visiting sides.
All easy for leaders Tours, who won on the field of newcomers Ajaccio 0-3 (20:25, 22:25, 21:25), with 16 points from Nik Mujanovic (47% in attack and 2 aces) now at +4 from their closest pursuers Tourcoing and Montpellier.
Away win also for Tourcoing, 1-3 (29:27, 21:25, 20:25, 17:25) on the field of Paris, despite 25 points from Vasily Molotkov (55% in attack including 2 aces and 2 blocks), and for Poitiers, who sweep Chaumont in just three sets, 0-3 (21:25, 23:25, 23:35), with 19 points from Tomas Pujol (47% in attack, 1 block and 1 ace).
Close the picture the 2-3 (26:24, 23:25, 22:25, 25:19, 12:15) win of Cannes on the field of St-Nazaire.
To make the difference a great performance in blocking, with 16 points from this element (10 for the hosts), despite the absence of Xander Ketrzynski (on the bench), while Joao Noleto led the charge with 20 points to his name through 55% in attack, 1 block and 2 aces. Strong support came also from Jacob Ekman, who added 16 through 72% in attack and 3 blocks, Lukas Demar and Theo Mohwinkel, also in double digit with 14 and 11 respectively.
Round 16 will close tomorrow with the game between Sète and Toulouse.
