Boskovic raised two kill blocks and hammered 16 kills in attack to share the team’s top scorer honors with 20-year-old outside hitter Vanja Ivanovic, who registered three stuffs and 15 successful swings. The other 20-year-old Serbian outside, Aleksandra Uzelac, put away 15 points, while middle blocker Maja Aleksic scored 12 points, including the match winner.
Experienced outside hitter Helena Grozer delivered a match-high 21 points for Czechia, while middle Magdalena Jehlarova impressed with five kill blocks towards a 15-point tally.
“It was very exciting to be back with the team. It was our first win in this year’s VNL and we are happy, of course,” Boskovic told VBTV. “It was a really tough game, but I would like to give credit to my team for fighting. Today we struggled a little bit, especially in transition, but I hope in the next games we can show a better performance. But a win is a win. We will celebrate a little bit and then focus on tomorrow’s game.”
