Having shown unmatched power, especially in her position, Serbian National Team standout Tijana Boskovic added the FIVB Women’s Club World Championship award to her resumé after leading Eczacibasi VitrA to the title earlier today.
The 19-year-old opposite hitter led the Serbian National Team to a surprising silver finish in the 2016 Rio Olympics.
Averaging over 20 points per game, Boskovic clinched the MVP and the Best Opposite Hitter plum in the most stacked WCWC tournament ever.
“I’m honored to win award. I played against lot of great players in the tournament. This has been great experience for me. It will be very memorable because it’s also my first time in the Philippines,” said Boskovic, who was tagged as the future of volleyball in several global publications.
2016 Olympics MVP Vakifbank’s Zhu Ting took home the First Best Open Hitter plum, while Russian National Team standout Eczacibasi’s Tatiana Kosheleva clinched the Second Best Open Hitter recognition.
Two-time Olympic gold medalist Rexona-Sesc’s Fabi Oliveira was named the Best Libero, while Pomi Casalmaggiore’s American setter, Carli Lloyd, was deemed as the Best Setter.
