Belgian middle blocker Laura Heyrman impressed with 88% success in offence towards a total of eight points, while outside hitter Hande Baladin reached double digits, contributing 10 points, including two blocks and two aces. Eczacibasi\u2019s serving made the biggest difference in the match as it accounted for as many as nine aces against none for their opponents. Also with 10 points to her name, opposite Tainara Santos was Dentil Praia\u2019s leading scorer in the match.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Eczacibasi\u2019s Serbian setter Maja Ognjenovic delivered the first serve of the championship and then Tainara produced the first two points with successful swings. A four-point run, garnished with two sizzling aces by Boskovic, put the home team at an 8-4 lead and they never looked back. They kept the pressure from the serving line, adding three more aces towards an emphatic 25-14 win. The Tigers stormed into the second set with a 7-0 run on Ognjenovic\u2019s serve. An ace by Russian outside hitter Irina Voronkova widened the gap to 11-3 and then Eczacibasi just cruised on to another convincing set win at 25-15. The third set was very tight and competitive until 16-15 Eczacibasi\u2019s way. Their middle Sinead Jack of Trinidad and Tobago impressed from the end line hammering two aces within a five-point run towards a 21-15 lead, which practically decided the match. Moments later, Boskovic delivered the winner at 25-18.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">&#8220;We are very happy to start the tournament with a win. It has motivated us a lot.
