Rexona Sesc Rio still reign supreme in Brazil

It took an epic five-set battle as Volei Nestle Osasco twice tied the sets, but Rexona Sesc Rio de Janeiro thrilled the almost 13,000 fans at Rio Arena in the city's Olympic Park Sunday morning with a 3-2 (25-19, 22-25, 25-22, 18-25, 15-6) win that earned them their 12th title overall and fifth straight in Brazil's Superleague.

Both sides will be travelling to Kobe in a couple of weeks for the Club Worlds.

Juciely Barreto from the middle and Drussyla Costa from the outside did a great job to give Rio the lead twice. And although Osasco kept coming back, the defending chamions took off in the tie-break for a 7-1 lead upon which they built their great win.

Drussyla was voted MVP of the single match final, but Tandara Caixeta, with 22 points for Osasco was top scorer of the game. Drussyla scored 19 and Juiely added 18 (including six of her team's 18 blocks) for Rio.

Order was restored in the Brazilian women's Superleague Friday night before 4,500 fans at Rio Arena, as defending champions Rexona Sesc Rio de Janeiro beat Camponesa Minas Belo Horizonte 3-1 (25-15, 26-24, 21-25, 25-20) to come back and claim their semifinals series 3-2 after trailing 1-2.

Rio will meet Volei Nestle Osasco in the single-match final of 23 April at Rio Arena in the city's Olympic Park, just a few weeks before the two sides travel to Japan for the 2017 FIVB Club World Championship, 9-14 May in Kobe. Middle blocker Juciely Barreto with seven of her team's 18 stuffs and a total of 20 points (13/21 for 62% in attacking) powered Rio to the win and was voted MVP of the game. Drussyla Costa (who once again played in place of Anne Buijs) scored 18 points, as fatigue seemed to step in for Gabi Guimaraes (9 points) midway through the match. 

USA's Destinee Hooker was top scorer of the game with 24 points for Minas, but the Belo Horizonte team gave away as many as 30 points on unforced errors. Osasco, who have not won a Superleague title since they beat Rio in the 2012 final, had qualified to this year's final with a 3-0 sweep of their semifinal series against last year's finalists Dentil Praia Clube Uberlandia. Rio will be seeking their fifth straight and 12th overall title. They have not been absent from a final since the club moved from Curitiba to Rio in 2005. Osasco have won the title five times overall.
