| Middle-blocker Facundo Imhoff (17) celebrates another victory for Bolivar at the Argentinean League |
Buenos Aires, Argentina, February 8, 2020 – Club Bolivar is off to a great start at the Argentinean Volleyball League as the side coached by former national team setter Javier Weber remains undefeated after its first 15 matches in the tournament.
Bolivar secured its 15th-straight win on Friday, when the team downed Gigantes del Sur 3-0 (25-11, 25-18, 25-11) at home. Cuban opposite Jesus Herrera was a key player in Bolivar’s win as he scored 20 points in the match.
Bolivar’s captain Agustin Loser, who was one of the best players of Argentina’s national team’s campaign at last year’s FIVB World Cup in Japan, stressed the importance of the result following a setback to Brazil’s Sesi at the Copa Libertadores final earlier in the week.
The middle-blocker scored 13 points in the match, seven of them in blocks, including the one that sealed the team’s victory.
“Losing in the Copa Libertadores final was a tough blow for us and to be able to bounce back that quickly makes a lot of good for us,” he said.
The night before, on Thursday, Bolivar defeated River Plate in a grueling five-set match also at home. The team now takes a break from the Argentinean League to compete at the South American Championship, in Contagem, Brazil, from February 11-15.
