Several Montenegrin national team players had notable individual performances this week, but their teams did not have as much success, writes odbojka.me in the review of the performance of our volleyball players abroad.
However, that was not the case with Nevena Vukčević, whose good performances in Egypt were also followed by the results of her Smuh Sporting. The team from Alexandria won two matches against Gezira - 3:1 and 3:2, and Nevena had 16 and 14 points, respectively.
Kristina Božović was also on a high scoring run, but her Vampula team is on a four-game losing streak and has fallen to seventh place in the Finnish championship. Kristina and her teammates lost away to Kangasali, and former volleyball player Luke Barr scored 15 points and was the second most efficient on her team, behind Jade Dumps.
Saška Đurović's phenomenal performance in Porto's jersey was not enough for the Portuguese team to pull off a surprise in the first match of the round of 32 of the CEV Cup. Galatasaray won in Porto 3:1, and the great middle blocker had 12 points. Nothing new in the championship - Porto won against Efanor 3:1, and Saška was rested for that match.
The Portuguese championship also saw Milena Ćetković's best performance since arriving on the Iberian Peninsula, but she wasn't happy after her Kairos' match with Braga. The visitors won 3:1, and Milena won 13 points.
More successful than her colleagues at the middle blocker position was Katarina Budrak, whose Bordeaux recorded its third win in a row. They beat France Avenir away 3:0, and Budrak earned eight points. Bordeaux moved up to seventh place in the standings.
Mina Dragović and Dubrovnik are in a bad position in the Croatian Super League standings. With only two wins in eight rounds, they are second to last in the standings, and last week they suffered a 3:1 defeat to Marin Kaštela. However, Mina had a good game with 10 points.
The leader of the Serbian Super League, Tent, whose member is Anastasija Bogojević, was defeated in the first match of the round of 32 of the CEV Cup by Asterix Beveren with the maximum score, and in the same way the team from Obrenovac was better than Partizan in the Serbian championship, thus maintaining the maximum score after eight rounds.
Jedinstvo, led by Montenegro coach Jovo Caković, was safe against Subotica - 3:0, and kept pace with the leading teams. Srem also achieved a big victory, away to Belgrade - 3:0. The team, which is awaiting the recovery of our coach Marija Šušić, has tied two wins for the first time this season and escaped the danger zone.
Omladinac, played by our young players Kristina Vukčević and Staša Mitrović, lost their second match of the season. They were defeated by Štrand Volej 3:1, and lost the lead to the black and whites, played by Vanja Matunović. The new leaders of the Serbian First League celebrated against Volej stara 3:1 in the eighth round and have a score of 7-1, as well as Valjevo.
Viktorija Čoković and Freizen bounced back from a series of defeats in the South Group of the Second Bundesliga. During the week, Freizen tied up victories over Stuttgart 3-0 and Unterhaching 3-2, and advanced to eighth place.
