Milonas could not stand the Canary Islands

“Mountain” qualified Milonas for the quarter-finals of the men’s CEV Cup volleyball. Neosmyrniotes lost 0-3 sets to Guasguas Las Palmas in the Canary Islands in the first match between them for the “16” of the second tier European inter-club competition and now needs a win in the second leg of “Croisos Persis” with the same score or 3 -1 set to lead the couple to the “golden” set and claim qualification there.

The New Smyrna team showed that they can qualify, since they could have won the first two sets, as they were either ahead of the score, or close to the Spaniards and both were decided by the minimum difference.

Russell was Milos’ leading scorer with 15 points, but he also made several mistakes on offense.
