Kertu Laak and her Italian Serie A1 volleyball club Chieri 76 finished their back-to-back with Scandicci, finishing both matches with comeback victories.
The 22-year old Laak played well in Sunday s match against Scandicci, leading Chieri to a 3:1 (-22, 32, 17, 20) victory. The Estonian joined the game after usual starter Kaja Grobelna struggled and took over from there, leading Chieri in points (+13) and bringing Chieri back from being down 0:1 to start the match. I knew I had to stay ready. We had had quite a few games in a row and the players who have been in the line-up over the last games are getting tired. I felt very good in practice this week and felt I hit on things during training. Once I got on the court, I tried to do my part and everything went well in that sense. There were not a lot of mistakes and I am glad that the second game went to us. It was a long game (34:32) and I think that is where the victory came from, Laak told Vikerraadio on Monday.
