Stuttgart's Volleyball Woes Continue
The reigning German volleyball champions Allianz MTV Stuttgart tasted defeat once again in the Champions League. Guided by coach Konstantin Bitter, the Swabian squad succumbed to a 1:3 (25:21, 19:25, 20:25, 18:25) defeat against Italian powerhouse Imoco Volley Conegliano in front of their home crowd last Wednesday.
Stuttering start to their Champions League campaign

Next stop: Belgium
With their European Cup clash fast approaching on Tuesday, November 28, Stuttgart will be facing Asterix Avo Beveren in Belgium.
Home advantage falters in defeat
Despite the advantage of performing on their home court, Allianz MTV Stuttgart's women's team continued their losing streak in the Champions League, ultimately falling 1:3 to Imoco Volley Conegliano. The German champions have now suffered two straight defeats in this elite European competition.
(Enrichment Data Integration) Allianz MTV Stuttgart had previously rebounded from Champions League fatigue with a dominating 3-0 win against Aachen. Pauline Martin emerged as the top scorer while Charlotte Krenicky was named the MVP.
