[REVIEW] WSL PLAYOFFS - QF1: Unilever Rio de Janeiro x BMG São Bernardo

Unilever in another semifinal

The writing was maintained. Since its inception in 1997, Unilever (RJ) has always reached at least until the semifinal round of the Women's Superleague. And this edition of the tournament is no different. On Tuesday (29/03), the team from Rio de Janeiro beat BMG / São Bernardo (SP) by 3 sets to 0 (25/20, 25/16 and 25/16) at the gym Maracanazinho, in Rio de Janeiro (RJ). With the result, the team coached by Bernardo Rezende closed the quarter-final series best-of-three in two to zero and secured one spot among the top four teams.


In the game that stamped the passport to the
semifinals of Unilever, the attackers Regiane and Sheilla had great performances. The opposite, Olympic champion, from Rio de Janeiro ended the game as the highest scorer with 19 points. The setter Dani Lins, also of the victorious team, was voted best athlete of the showdown and won the trophy VivaVôlei.
