Baku, October 19 (AZERTAC). Sollys/Nestlé OSASCO of Brazil capped an outstanding week of high level Volleyball with a brilliant straight-set victory (25-16, 25-14, and 25-17) over Rabita Baku of Azerbaijan to claim the gold medal of the 2012 Women`s FIVB Club World Championship at the Aspire Zone Hall of Doha.

It was the first crown for the Brazilian club in the history of the tournament following second and third finishes in the past two editions of the annual competition. The trio of Sheilla Castro, Thaisa Menezes and Jaqueline Carvalho, all members of the Brazilian squad that won the gold medal at London 2012, topped the scoring for Sollys/Nestlé with 15, 14 and 12 points respectively. Fernanda Rodrigues, also a veteran of the successful team in London, added 8 points. Madelaynne Montaño was the best scorer of the dethroned Rabita with 14 points followed by Natasa Krsmanovic who finished with seven. Both teams recorded five blocks and the new champions held the edge 5-4 in service aces. The Brazilians made 11 unforced errors to 18 by the losing squad.

Turkish Fenerbahce defeated Lancheras de Cataño of Puerto Rico in straight sets (25-16, 25-17, and 25-17) to claim the bronze medal of the Championship.
