The two points collected by Campinas made them gain ground on each of the three teams that appeared above them in the Superliga standings before the weekend’s matches. Now with 32 points (12 wins, four losses), Campinas have passed Praia Clube, who have 31 and will play on Sunday, and also shortened the distance to league leaders Sada Cruzeiro, who continued with 39 after losing to Joinville Vôlei 3-1, and Minas, who collected one point and got to 35.
Borges, who celebrated his 36th birthday on Tuesday, played a pivotal role in Campinas’ victory, producing 17 points, with 15 kills, one block and one ace. A key piece in the team’s defensive system, he was awarded as the match’s MVP.
“It was a tough match, as each one has been this season,” he reflected. “We can’t put our guard down against anyone and tonight it was no different. Luckily, we were able to bring out our best game in the tie-breaker. We served, passed and hit well, Bruno (Rezende, setter) did a great job too and all those things helped us win.”
