French Volero, coached by former national coach Ivan Petkov, defeated Belgian Asterix in the second match of the CEV Cup tournament, but lost the "golden" set 11:15 and was eliminated from the tournament. In the first match, the Belgians won 3:0, which forced Petkov's girls to fight for a mandatory home victory of 3:0 or 3:1 to reach a "golden" set. Fingal and company managed to accomplish the first task but could not maintain full concentration in the decisive fourth set. The efforts of the American, who finished with 27 points, alone were not enough for success.
