Yamamay Wins CEV Cup

If there’ one team having a blast this season, it’ gotta be Yamamay Busto Arsizio from Italy!

In front of more than 5,000 fans, Carli Lloyd, Helena Havelkova (sidelined due to injury), Leonardi, MVP Havlickova, Meijners and their talented teammates defeated Lo Bianco, Rosir Calderon and Team Galatasaray in an epic match (25-19, 25-13, 23-25, 25-23) and eventually won the Golden Set (15-9). This is the team’s second CEV CUP title.

“If you win in front of such an audience like we did tonight, well it really feels special. I have to congratulate my players because they started very aggressively and they quickly forgot the defeat we had suffered some days ago in Turkey. This is a well deserved win which comes at the end of a very long and difficult campaign” says head coach Carlo Parisi on a statement published by cev.lu.

“We played with glowing hearts as we have been always doing throughout this memorable season. We have claimed the national cup and the CEV Cup, now we shall complete our showcase by taking also the national league.” according to team captain Francesca Marcon.

Italy’s one and only Lo Bianco could not hide her disappointment.

“I feel disappointed because we never found our way into the game but Yamamay fully deserved to win tonight”.

Congratulations Ladies!

We’re very proud of what you have achieved so far this season!

Keep up the great work!
