Super Cup champions TI-Schuh-Staudinger-Volley regained the lead in the AVL Women’s Championship on Saturday.

Innsbruck Women pushed ATSC Kelag Wildcats Klagenfurt off the top of the table and won the big round 6 match at the USI Hall 3-0 (25:21, 25:21, 25:14). The Wildcats were the last undefeated AVL team heading into this weekend.
