Pannaxiakos finished in the first round only one point behind the first place although 4 teams have much bigger budgets. Also their coach hadnt be before in the first league. Unexpectedly all their decisions so far have been really good.

Marisa Field is playing in AO Thiras.

Megan Cyr post a picture of Thira in instagram and wrote that she is gonna miss this view. So the rumors that she will be replaced by Ana Grbac maybe are true.

She played only for a few minutes and had 1/3 attacks.
