France: Round 25 continues – Plessis Robinson stun Tourcoing!

After the advance played yesterday, in which Sète sweep Cannes in straight sets to claim their ticket for playoffs, 2025/26 Marmara Spike League Round 25, penultimate of regular season, continued today with the clash between No.3 Tourcoing and No.7 Plessis Robinson, who won a game last week after 8 losses in a row!
And in fact, after losing first set with the minimum gap, the visiting side shocked third-placed in the standings with a 1-3 (25:23, 19:25, 21:25, 18:25) win!
Despute a better performance in blocking (11 to 6) and at the serve line (7 aces to 4), the hosts were not able to capitalize in key momenta of each set and, with this result, Tourcoing close regular season at third place one game in advance!
Jérémie Mukelenge led the charge with 27 points to his name through 59% in attack and 4 blocks, while Nathan Canovas earned MVP honors with 42% in attack, 1 ace and 1 block.
Tom Lavigne tallied 18 points for Tourcoing through 62% in attack, the same percentage of positive receptions and 2 aces.
Round 25 well close tomorrow with the remaining game.
