Luxembourg, February 7, 2021. The Italian dominance of Pool A of the CEV Champions League Volley Round 4 was cemented in the second tournament of the pool that took place this past week in Schwerin, Germany, with Savino Del Bene Scandicci and Unet e-work Busto Arsizio booking their places in the quarterfinals of the competition.

It was however not as easy as some would’ve thought with Busto and Scandicci having to fight hard against the Germans from SSC Palmberg Schwerin and it was Canadian Alexa Gray with a great performance in that match against the Germans, where she managed 17 points and 60% efficiency, that gave Busto the push int the next stage of the competition.

Catch up on their performances throughout the 4th Round of the CEV Champions League Volley on CEV’s EuroVolley.TV

Alexa Gray determined to make the season count

The Canadian outside hitter has been having a great 4th Round in Europe’s premiere club competition and has been key to her team reaching the quarterfinals of the competition. Throughout this round, Alexa managed an impressive 104 points (6th in the overall standings) giving head coach Marco Musso plenty of reasons to celebrate on the sidelines.

Aged 26, Alexa Gray had a great career in collegiate volleyball, after which she made the move to play professional volleyball in South Korea for GS Caltex KIXX. After a year spent in Asia she made the move to the Italian League where she has played for several clubs. She continues to play for the national team of Canada.
