Men’s Volleyball League: Olympiakos Piraeus with the excellent Travitsa overtook Polichni
Olympiacos won a 3-0 set against Pegasus in Polichni, with Dragan Travitsa putting in an impressive performance.
With a passing and serving performance from Dragan Travitsa, Olympiacos defeated Pegasos in Polichni by a 3-0 set in a match that opened the second day of the Volley League Championship.
Jurich and Hidalgo scored 10 points each and were Olympiakos’ first scorers. Dimitris Tzurich started an Olympiacos game for the first time in 12 years, although Gustavo took his place in the 3rd set.
Pegasos took a 21-19 lead in the first set, but couldn’t fend off Travitsa’s serve, giving Olympiakos a 4-0 run to win the set. Pegasus did not have an athlete in double figures and did not score a point off a block, due to the positive attributes of the opposing pass rusher.
Olympiacos now turns its attention to the 6th qualifying group of the Champions League, which will take place in Galati, Romania from November 10th to 12th.
