After two 3-0 defeats in Rennes and Montpellier, the team from Nice was playing their third match of the season, once again away from home.
This time, it was in Sète where they reunited with their last year’s opposite hitter, the Ukrainian Vasyl Tupchii.
Facing a dangerous opponent (1 win, 1 loss) who was eager to erase their defeat in Poitiers in front of their home crowd, Nice won 3 sets to 0 (25-23, 25-19, 25-21).
