Rabita sweeps Aluprof 3:0



In the fourth round of the 2010-11 CEV Champions League, Rabita Baku swept Aluprof Bielsko-Biala in straight sets, avenging the last week defeat.

Sanja Starovic headlined Rabita's attack with 14 points and Natasa Krsmanovic added 12 points, including match-high five blocks.

Rabita came out focused and ready, and by the time of the first technical timeout the host team was up 8:3. It didn't stop there, as Azerbaijani champions pushed ahead to a 10:3 lead, forcing Aluprof coach to signal another timeout. A tip over by Kim Glass had Rabita go up 17:4, and Polish team looked like a shadow of itself from last week. Aluprof did managed to cut Rabita's lead to eight, but it was too little too late as a block from Mira Golubovic closed the set 25:13.

Rabita picked up from where it left off in the second set, as Kim Glass put another block for a 12:7 lead. Polish team, however, stayed resilient, and crept within two at 15:13. Rabita grabbed the next three points, taking a 18:13 lead, but Aluprof responded with a ferocious 8:2 run and took a first lead in the game, 21:20. With the set on the line, it was the time for Rabita defense to shine - a series of incredible saves and three blocks in a row helped Rabita to snatch the set 25:23.

In the third set, Rabita built a quick 4:1 lead for Aluprof to erase it and to tie it at six. But Rabita would not relent. Hosts took four points straight, then pieced together three more points to go up 13:8, forcing guests into a timeout. But the pep talk didn't help much as Rabita finished the set with a final 12:4 run to close the match 25:12.
