Women’s MEVZA League - Branik MARIBOR picks up three points against Mladost

In the women’s MEVZA League, Nova KBM Branik MARIBOR (SLO) secured three very important points for the standing against HAOK Mladost ZAGREB (CRO), celebrating a 3-1 (25-20, 28-26, 22-25, 25-19) victory on Wednesday evening on home soil.

As a result, the hosts drew level with the reigning Croatian champions – both teams have nine points from a 3-4 win-loss record – and they are still in the race for a Final Four spot. Lorena Lorber-Fijok was the most prolific player for the now third-placed home team, scoring 24 points, while HAOK Mladost ZAGREB’s Josipa Marković managed to put 20 to her name.

The second women’s match-up scheduled for Wednesday between OK Marina KAŠTELA (CRO) and the current table leaders OK Calcit KAMNIK (SLO) had to be postponed due to a COVID-19 outbreak.

The men’s competition will continue on Thursday with two fixtures. While HAOK Mladost ZAGREB (CRO) will be facing Union Raiffeisen WALDVIERTEL (AUT), Final Four tournament hosts SK Zadruga AICH/DOB (AUT) and bottom-of-the-table VKP BRATISLAVA (SVK) will be locking horns at Bleiburg.
