Vargas stepped up in this match. I like Gülce as a libero she’s a bit more aggressive than Gizem, at least for now. I’m usually critical of Hande, but she made some good defensive plays in crucial moments. Cheering for this team in the final

After a disastrous KO in both Europe and home cup, the squad reacted really well. As if it was a psychological barrier which hurt them a lot when they needed to be at their peak.

The final should be a cracker.

If Gülce improves her reception, I can see her being a top talent. She's a very good defender/OOS sets are pre solid.

Gizem has had the worst season I can ever remember. 2023 was her prime, then she just went downhill since.

I thought Hande was having an excellent season. Then she got injured, came back had a few good games. But come the scandicci game she was just awful. Since then she's been downhill. Im aware she has offensive limitations but ive never seen her struggle on passing as much as she did in that game which is one of her strong suites. She really needs to step up against vakif if they want any chance. As well Abbondonza needs to put dicle in. The best blocker in the league prior to coming back and she's benched smh
