Challenge Cup: also SK Ankara and Melilla to quarterfinals

Other two teams progressed to 2024/25 CEV Challenge Cup quarterfinals: Turkey’s SK Ankara, better know in world or volleyball as Spor Toto, and CV Melilla from Spain.
The first one, after a four sets win in Germany in first leg, won at tie break in front of their home fans against WWK Volleys Herrsching, 3-2 (25:19, 22:25, 27:29, 25:15, 15:7), with 26 points from Salvador Hidalgo Oliva (3 aces, 2 blocks and an impressive 72% in attack), while Melilla, who also won in four sets in first leg, did the same in Switzerland, eliminating Volley Näfels after a 1-3 (21:25, 19:25, 25:16, 15:25) success, mostly thanks to a better performance in attack (53% to 37%) and blocking (12 to 6).
