The national team proved there is some pulse in the long-suffering sport of volleyball, as it secured its entry to the final of the European League by upsetting the odds and Slovenia.
The Greeks of coach Sotiris Drikos had lost 3-2 in the first leg at Thessaloniki but they bounced back to beat host Slovenia 3-1 (25-21, 25-18, 22-25, 25-22) and advance to the tournament’s final in style.
The victory at Maribor means that Greece will face Montenegro in the final of the European League, the second-tier competition that offers its winner a ticket to the top tournament, the World League.
Dimitris Tzourits led the Greeks with his impressive showing, scoring 31 points on the night.
