Rabita BAKU - Early Champion! Fifth title in a row! Felicia Lokomotiv !




The second day of the Baku Final Four of the Azerbaijani Super league clearified only the name of the champion and put into disorder the ranking for the rest of the teams.
The first match between Lokomotiv and Azerrail was the 7th match of these teams against each other in this season. Two of these matches were the finals of the Challenge Cup where Azerrail defeated the rivals and became the champion. But the rest three matches were also finished with the success of Azerrail.
So,yesterday`s match was the last chance for Loko girls to take revenge and keep their chance not only for the medals but even for silver medals of the Super league. Lokomotiv bravely fought against their rivals and gained a very important victory and showed its ambitions to the medals. Azerbaijani National team member,middle blocker Kseniya Kovalenko- Poznyak was the best player of the match scoring 13 points ( 8 attacks 89% and 5 blocks) showing great performance especially at the most important moments.
This victory also deprived Azerrail of the title hope.
So, after this vicotry of Lokomotiv Rabita became an early Champion of the Azerbaijani Superleague season 2010/11. This is the fifth title of Rabita Baku in a row.
The second match lost its meaning for Rabita but not for Igtisadchi Baku, on the contrary it extended Igtisadchi`s motivation and chances for Silver medals. Rabita played with main squad trying to celebrate the championship title with a victory,but Igtisadchi`s girls did not let them do that. After quite interesting match Igtisadchi defeated Rabita in four sets. Japanese libero Yuko Sano showed something unbelievable on the court making the match very interesting with her amazing digs and was the best player of the macth for the second time in the Finals.
