Maritza PLOVDIV sweeps Levski Volley SOFIA – Kupa Bulgariya tournament
Maritza PLOVDIV of Bulgaria was able to seal the deal in the final of the Kupa Bulgariya tournament recently.
The championship was a six-day affair and was staged in the Bulgarian city of Plovdiv. The home team of Bulgaria competed against the Levski Volley SOFIA in the title match. The venue of the tournament final was the “Olimpiada” sports hall that was jam packed
with the majority of the home team fans.
The recent win that the Bulgarians have been able to achieve was the first time that they were able to win a national title of Bulgaria. Not only was the Maritza squad able to seal the deal on the title of the championship, they were able to do so by making
a clean sweep over their opponents. The Maritza squad won each of the three back-to-back sets in a dominant fashion.
By the time that Maritza was celebrating their well earned win and SOFIA was walking out of the courts with their heads hung low, the scoreboard read as 25-18, 25-20 and 25-14.
The head coach of the Maritza squad expressed his jubilation in the following manner when his team had gotten hold of the winner’s trophy, “Winning the cup is a great achievement by itself, but I also view it as another step of the ladder that we have been
climbing over the recent years. We celebrate tonight and resume work tomorrow with our next goal being the national championship title in March. Our long-term objective is to become a team of a higher European level.”
The final match was not the only one in which the Maritza squad was able to make a clean sweep in the tournament but they were also able to assert themselves in the semi final by sweeping the CSKA SOFIA aside. Despite the fact that they lost the semi in
a sweep, CSKA made a good effort as shown by the final set scores, 25-23, 25-21 and 25-18.
Next in line for the Maritza squad is a match against Levski. The competition between the two sides is going to take place in the city of Plovdiv.
