Highlights
Overview
The second match of the day matches hosts Romania with the Netherlands aces. Romania will have an extremely difficult task to win against the dutch, even though they will have massive support from home fans in the BTarena. For team Romania, Alexia Căruțașu, a rising star, is the top scorer, while Ciucu is the best receiver in the group. From team NED, Julien Lohuis has caught the eye so far during the tournament and will aim to help her team extend their 100% win percentage (0 sets lost so far) even further. Can Romania driven by the home fans stop the Dutch from having a perfect record? We are about to see!

Celeste Plak told us that "The first set was good for us, we served very well. We let them come in the game again and it was a little hard to get back on track. Last set was again the best volleyball we could play. THe upcoming match versus Turkey will determine who will win pool D"
After the match, Romania’s Marina Cojocaru declared: "we had to put the match from the previous day aside and play our best volleyball today. We are happy that we could take one set today. We also want to thank everyone in the stands for the incredible support. We will try to win for the great fans in the following match. Go team Romania!"
