ACH Volley were able to hone their skills after losing the opening match against national rivals Calcit Volley Kamnik on October 5. “As the better team, they deserved to win. I think this match was their best in this year’s MEVZA League competition so far. On the other hand, we were really weak on serve and inefficient in blocking”, Mladost Ribola head coach Ivan Rancic reported.
ACH Volley moved up to third place in the current table on six points, while Croatia’s Mladost Ribola have still to wait for the second win in the 2019-2020 edition of the men’s MEVZA League.
