Three "academicians" represent the Volga region Academy at the International student basketball Cup
Today in Moscow the international student basketball Cup with participation of the strongest student teams of Russia, Europe and the world started. The hosts of this tournament will be represented by two teams – Russia 1 and Russia 2.
Team-1 coaches, Boris Sokolovsky, Russia-2 Andrei Pavlenko. Both teams have players who will be able to defend the honor of our country at the Universiade 2019 in Naples. Including representatives of the Volga region Academy of sports and tourism. Russia-2 will play Cyril Garnaev and graduate Cyril Salmin, Russian-1 - Sergey Curves.
Krivykh became, incidentally, the most productive in the composition of the team Volga region Academy in latest for our students match, the season. In the battle for access to the super Final of the League of Belov in Yekaterinburg, "academicians" lost to the owners of the site, the team URFU with the score (67:74). On account of the Curves in this meeting 17 points and 7 attacking assists. The winner of the Superfinal, by the way, in early may was the MSU team, which caused a sensational defeat of MGAFK from Malakhovka, the first in the last 67 matches of the ACB championship.
Well, for the "academicians", descended from the distance on the near approaches to the top, last season, according to the coach of our team Olesya Matvienko, was very successful.
- In the decisive matches, we simply did not have enough strength, because we had 64 matches during the season. Given that students also need to learn, it is very much. I want to note that this season the level of the teams in the ACB has grown significantly. This is due to the fact that many universities attract basketball students with increased scholarships, which are sometimes higher than the salary in the farm clubs of professional teams. However, we in the VTB Student League finished in fourth place, and in the League Belova stopped a step away from the super Final. Moreover, in the final match, we are still in the first half left without one of the key players, Shukhrat Muradhajayev, who first received a technical foul, and then completely removed from the site. I think next season we will perform not weaker, as all the guys will continue to study at the Academy.
