DSV CV Sant Cugat loses its star Inés Victory, who signs for Emalsa Gran Canaria

The Menorcan setter Inés Victory, 21 years old and 1.83 meters tall, leaves DSV CV Sant Cugat after three seasons to join Emalsa Gran Canaria, where she will partner with Alejandra Pavón.

DSV CV Sant Cugat has lost its most decisive player. Inés Victory, the 21-year-old setter who has been the driving force of the Cugat team for the past three seasons, has signed with Emalsa Gran Canaria. The Canary Islands team thus completes its roster with a signing that is set to be key in the fight for the Liga Iberdrola.

The Menorcan, standing at 1.83 meters, arrives in Las Palmas after a brilliant stint in Sant Cugat. There she moved from the reserve team to the first team and became the reference for the Vallés Occidental squad. Her departure leaves a significant void in the playmaking of DSV CV Sant Cugat, which will need to regroup ahead of the next season.

A career forged in Catalunya

Victory trained at Get Blume women's team and made the leap to Sant Cugat after a brief stint at MCR Premià d'Alt Maresme. It was at the Cugat club where she truly exploded. Wearing the DSV CV Sant Cugat jersey, the Balearic setter has been a key player in ensuring the team competed at the highest level in the women's Superliga.

Her accolades include a gold medal at the WEVZA with the under-19 national team, a bronze in Superliga 2, and another bronze in the Copa de la Reina. These achievements, combined with her youth, have made her the biggest national promise in her position. Emalsa Gran Canaria, looking to reclaim the crown lost in the Liga Iberdrola, has set its sights on her to lead the project.

Nine new signings for the Olímpico

With Victory's arrival, Emalsa Gran Canaria has now made nine signings for this season. Joining the setter are Heloiza Pereira, Zyare Abdul-Rahim, Petra Indrová, Magui Frías, Mariangel Vivas, Jessica Akamere, Justyna Lukasik, and Margalida Pizà. An almost entirely new team that will seek the league title.

For DSV CV Sant Cugat, Victory's departure is a heavy blow. The Catalan club loses its main asset and will have to restructure its squad to maintain competitiveness. The Sant Cugat fans, who have watched the setter grow over three years, bid farewell to a player who leaves a mark.

The news has hit the DSV CV Sant Cugat community like a cold shower. The team's supporters are already wondering who will fill the Menorcan's shoes. So far, the club has not made any official moves in the transfer market to replace her departure.
