Lokomotiv seizes the night and first place in Pool E
2012 CEV Volleyball Champions League - Men

Novosibirsk, Russia, January 18, 2012. With the leadership of Pool E being at stake, Lokomotiv NOVOSIBIRSK scored this afternoon a 3:1 win to edge Italy’s Lube Banca Marche MACERATA and advance to the Playoffs 12 of the 2012 CEV Volleyball Champions League as the first-ranked team of the group.
Lokomotiv started well claiming the opening set with the score of 25-21 but the guests from Italy did not surrender that easily anchored by their setter Dragan Travica. Anyway, Lokomotiv stayed cool and eventually went for the 2:0 after a series of side-outs that was ended by the score of 32-30 for the home side. The third set was also very close and the Italians re-opened the game after another tight final rush (28-30). Outside hitter Lukas Divis and opposite Michael Sanchez got Lokomotiv back on track to finish the game with a 3:1 (25-17).
“It was essential for us to qualify for the Playoffs 12 as first-ranked team” says head coach Andrei Voronkov. “We are happy we have beaten MACERATA which was the only team from the group that we had not edged so far”.
