Stuttgart (dpa / lsw) - The American top player Krystal Rivers has extended her contract with the Bundesliga volleyball team of MTV Allianz Stuttgart for another year. The club announced on Wednesday. "We're going into the sixth season together with Krystal. It's something very special," said sporting director Kim Oszvald-Renkema. "She is the face of the team and an incredibly important building block in the 2023/2024 team. With Krystal, the best diagonal attacker remains on board. We are all very happy about that."
Rivers has been one of the top performers of the 2022 double winner for years. In December, she handed over the captaincy to teammate Maria Segura Palleres for health reasons. "Her character and mentality are exceptional and that makes everyone at the club better," said managing director Aurel Irion of the 28-year-old.
