^ Tracy is a good middle blocker/attacker. If im not mistaken, she is an Olympic Alternate for the US Team. So being an Olympic alternate(against Bown, Scott-Arruda, Joines), you must be atleast good if not excellent. Good thing she is chosen by Eczacibasi. She is part of the NCAA champion team of Nebraska in 2006 where Sarah Pavan (Italian League) is her former teammate.

Maggie Griffin (USA) and Jessenia Uceda (Peru) new players of VA Toledo

Francesca Feretti signed new 3 years contract

Valentina Fiorin is injured and is out for the rest of the season. RC Cannes is looking for a new player to replace her.

Well...Atika Bouagaa is still looking for a team But I don't think she is good enough for Cannes.

Two serious injuries for Gkaragkouni Niki and Tsima Eugenia of Markopoulo A.O(Greece).The team can not be competitive so Luminita Trombitas is passing to Cannes...

Luminata Trombitas in Cannes?!... well it's for the rest of the season. With Salinas and Sieglova injured she will help the team to win the french cup and the french league.

Maryna Marchenko (ukraine) is a new RC Cannes player. She sign to replace Valentina Fiorin who is injured.
