After missing the start of the season due to nasal surgery, Egonu seems to be finding her rhythm and had, on Saturday, her sixth-straight match with 20 or more points. The star opposite accounted for 26 of Milano’s points in the match, leaving the court with 22 kills, three blocks and one ace.
This was Egonu’s third most productive match in the Italian League this season – she tallied 28 points last week against Novara and 27 against Megabox Ondulati Savio Vallefoglia back in December.
Other standouts in Milano’s victory were outside hitters Miriam Sylla, who produced 11 points and earned the match’s MVP award, and Nika Daalderop, who also got to double digits with ten.
“I’m happy for the victory,” Sylla reacted. “We’re certainly not going through our best moment in the season, but the way we’re fighting for every point shows how much we want things to change. We’ve been working very hard every day and I’m sure that sooner or later that turning point will come for us.”
