Capital1 import Tushova sets new PVL scoring record

Capital1 import Marina Tushova set a new Premier Volleyball League (PVL) scoring record with 50 points in her debut conference.

She erupted for 45 points in a five-set win over Choco Mucho to break the 44-point record by Pricilla Rivera of Cuba.

A week later, she erased it when she dropped 49 markers in another five-setter duel against Nxled followed by 47 attacks, two blocks and an ace in their grueling five-set loss to Cignal in the quarterfinals.

Despite her individual achievements, Tushova expressed that her main goal was team victory, but her team was ultimately eliminated in the quarterfinals by the Cignal HD Spikers.

Tushova finished her PVL campaign with 301 points in nine games and was recognized as the PVL Press Corps Player of the Week for August 20-24.

She has accepted an offer to play overseas in Azerbaijan for the team Ganja, but expressed her openness to return to the PVL.

"I still hope we will have another opportunity," said the 6-foot Russian gunner who is set to play in Azerbaijan.

"I hope to come back here to play again, and I hope I will be better next year."
