Pia Timmer goes to the States. She play for Washington State.
Good choice. Is already one of my favorite teams anyway. Will be interesting to follow her journey and also Aisha Skinner in the Big Ten with Iowa.

American OH Adeja Lambert one more season with finnish league bronze medalist Kuusamo.

Pity. Kosova is a good player (and an even better person from what i've read).

Was rooting for Nantes.
But the "undersized" energetic Natalia Valentin is fun to watch though, looked like she has a good connection with MB Amber Rolfzen. -
Any idea what happened to the TVF dataproject? I can't find anymore last seasons stats. They were there few weeks ago.
Usually you can find earlier seasons with trying out lower numbers at the end of the URL, in this case "25" instead of "31".

against more experienced Kanti Schaffhausen
Well, their swiss setter is 20 years old, and their dutch setter only 19. They also haven't participated in the European cups for a few years (due to weaker results in the swiss league) but now experience kind of a "revival" with coach Neubauer (who also works in the German NT staff). Maybe more experienced "off the court" as a club in terms of managing/organizing an european cup event, yes.

I've read that the Montreux Volley Masters is scheduled in mid-May this year. It was an article on the swiss federation site which mentioned that the Swiss NT will play two tournaments before the ECH: Montreux and the Universiade.

Maja Storck suffered an ankle injury shortly before the end of the match and had to be treated on court for a while
Storck: Torn ligaments in the ankle apparently
. Good recovery! https://www.facebook.com/regioSPORTal/posts/2281069595442210At least Künzler looks like she has overcome her own ankle issues.

Do you think Karch would rather call Veronica Jones-Perry instead of Adams?
I don't know. I watched some really entertaining BYU home matches and also like Jones-Perry A LOT and wish her only the best and to be invited in the future. Sometimes i just think players should also be rewarded when they actually PROVE to play very good in leagues on the level like Germany but the discussion is always about who of the fresh graduates or even the students should be invited because of an assumed great potential or high ceiling (without knowing YET if it really will unfold also under international rules or another ball used). But that goes off topic now...

Adams
I know it's "only" Bundesliga but I hope Karch is watching her. There is no stopping her attacks at all for Münster so far.I guess the pressure to invite always the "next big things" from the NCAA is high and late bloomer players like her coming from a not so famous NCAA program (and conference) who were no "celebs" right out of college easily got forgotten. But who knows, Miyashiro might notice her. Would be nice.

Saw in MEVZA match stats that Katarina Luketic is in action again for Mladost Zagreb as OPP. She was with the University of Texas (NCAA) squad for a little while, but then left (homesick??). Maybe she can be a (future) back-up for Fabris as well.

Estonia, who would have thought. Good job! Nice to have a baltic country there (LTU and LAT seem to give more priority to beachvolleyball is my impression...?).
-
USA OH Jaali Winters (All-American, Creighton) to Fachadas Dimurol Haris
USA OPP Taylor Mims (Washington State) to Fachadas Dimurol Haris
That should add quite a bit of "firepower" for them, i would assume. Two players with good reputation from well-coached programs. They both were good scorers for their teams. as far as i remember the stats.

I think Alexakou was named freshman of the Year in the Big East conference this season. Big East is a decent mid-level conference among the 32 conferences. I also remember a recent tweet from Saint Mary's College (West Coast Conference) where they announced their supposed future recruiting class with greek Elena Baka for their indoor AND beach team. West Coast Conference is overall a bit better than Big East, i think, maybe nr. 5 or 6. I used to watch a bit West Coast conference this season because it's freely available and usually has early matches on Saturday.

Sorry, but it's disgusting how you talk about her. Apparently she's able to attend a good US-University (which means her IQ can't be that bad...). But, oh well, empathy is long gone on these kind of message boards...

@hakin12...can you show me a pic of Goncharova without make-up...
Well said...

Laura Heyrman hopes to join her team in January according to this:
-
In my opinion this tournament has become a bit of a farce anyway from the moment FIVB "outsourced" it to Eventcourt. And i tend to say: Kudos to the teams who opt against participation.

Pfeffinger and Dudingen lost from Oudegem and Fatum! I expected better results for the best teams of Switzerland.
Not surprised that Fatum was a bit stronger than Düdingen. IMO, overall, Fatum is also the (slightly) stronger team "on paper".
Sm'Aesch Pfeffingen played with a 16 year old setter and maybe is able to turn it around at home if the main setter (who is out with a concussion, i think) can play (but of couse her health is more important and things should never be rushed in such cases!).
