Sesc RJ Flamengo remains unbeaten in the 2025/26 Women’s Volleyball Premier League.

Sesc RJ Flamengo will return to the field next Tuesday (9/12) for the classic match against Fluminense, at 9:30pm, at the Ginásio da Hebraica, in Rio de Janeiro (RJ). Cisse will face Bauru Minas on Friday (12/12), at 6:30pm, in Belo Horizonte (MG).
Coach Henrique Modenese did not have Caselli in full condition, as he was recovering from knee pain. She started on the bench and was named in the starting lineup. Cisse Bauru opened two sets to one, and from the third game onwards, Bernardinho chose center Gogo Gandra instead of Kirov, who left the field with just one point.
In the tie-break, Sesc RJ Flamengo led 6-1 on the scoreboard with Lorena serving and looked to be heading for an uneventful victory in the partial. But Cisse Bauru sought to achieve the result and tied the score 8-8, then turned the score around 13-12. But Simone Lee was once again decisive in finishing off the match to score three successive points and maintain her unbeaten record in the Superliga.
North American winger Simon Lee scored 32 points and won the VivaVôlei Cup.
