Thought I would post a separate thread because it's the NCAA offseason for the CEV Cup (second tier CEV tournament after the Champions League) mostly because Eczacibasi (after a strange Turkish League tournament last year), who are currently in 1st in the Turkish League, are playing in this tournament.
In the 4th Finals (Quarterfinals) Eczacibasi beat Yenisei Krasnoyarsk (Russia) 3-1 behind 25 points from Boscovic and 24 points from Larson. Larson hit above .600 on the match. Yenisei has Malykh (young opposite who used to be the "on-the-rise" Russian player) and Frolova, but Frolova sit out this match. Adams struggled hitting .167, but a lot of that, from what I saw, was due to some verrrryy aggressive sets from Ognjenovic.
Other Americans in the CEV Cup:
Annie Drews for Pomi Casalmaggiore (along with Lo Biano and Stevanovic). Drews hit almost .000 in a 3-set loss to SSC Schwerin.
Madi Bugg for Dresdner SC, who lost in 3-sets to Allianz MTV Stuttgart. Stuttgart has Molly McCage and Paige Tapp who had 10 points and 9 points respectively in the win. McCage hit .500 and Tapp hit .167.
I would imagine if Eczacibasi wins the CEV Cup (which they are the heavy favorites), they will be a Wildcard for the 2018 FIVB Club World Championships.
