Trophy for Sokol/Post
“I would love to carry it around until tomorrow”
The volleyball players from Sokol/Post were crowned Austria's Cup winners for the 27th time on Sunday. But the 3:1 win against Eisenerz/Trofaiach was harder fought than expected. Captain Aida Mehic didn't want to give up the trophy afterwards.
"The trophy is super heavy, but I don't care, I'd love to carry it around until tomorrow," Aida Mehic beamed into the cameras, relieved with the trophy for winning the Women's Volleyball Cup. This was the 27th time the trophy had gone to Sokol/Post. However, the 3:1 victory over the Erzbergmadln from Eisenerz/Trofaiach was harder fought than the Post girls, who have been unbeaten in Austria since the beginning of November, had imagined.
In front of more than 1000 fans in the JUFA Arena in Bleiburg, it was the underdogs from Styria who took the first set 25:19. "I briefly thought that it might not work out. We expected it to be easy for us because they were missing captain Julia Mitter. The first set was proof that you shouldn't think like that." Mehic and Co. then took sets two to four and the trophy. The quarter-finals of the domestic league start on Saturday. As winners of the basic round, the goal for Post is now the championship title.
