OK Calcit KAMNIK head coach Gregor Jeroncic: “I am satisfied with the result, although we made too many mistakes at the beginning of the third set. In the fourth set, we played very well in attack, as we did already in the decisive stages of the first and second set. I am also happy with how we played in defence, because we did not give up a single ball. Finally, we were rewarded for the effort we put in the game.”

KAMNIK’s outside hitter Gal Timotej Kos and AICH/DOB’s opposite Daniel de Souza Maciel split the best scorer honours with a record of 19 points each. Match stats: spikes 48-48; aces 8-3; blocks 9-14 and opponent errors 33-25.
