Highlights
Poland have opened their 2021 #EuroVolleyW campaign starting on the right foot, winning at 3-1 over Germany. Although it was a team effort, there was one player who shined throughout all the four sets. 20-year-old Stysiak hammered as many as 30 points, and will for sure cause problems to Greece's defence.
Greece, on the other hand, lost at 0-3 in their opening match against hosts Bulgaria. Anthi Vasilontanaki became best scorer for her team with 14 points to her name. Although they had lost their first match, Vasilontanaki and her teammates remain positive and want to show their full potential at #EuroVolleyW.
