April 1 – 19:15 – MILAN

It’s a big party! Two sets are enough to the Igor Gorgonzola Novara to bring the CEV Cup 2025 to the multipurpose of Blaj at home. It was the only cup that was missing to make en plein in Novare in Europe: the palmares is complete.

The match

At mosquitoes this was sufficient, after the 3-1 victory of the first leg, and they succeeded in 53 minutes. The game then closed for 0-3 (28-30, 17-25, 26-28). The Piedmontese thus add the latter trophy to a bulletin board already rich in a Champions League won in 2019, a Wevza and a challenge won last year. The CEV had already been won by a company in Novara, the AsyStel, in 2006 and 2009 Challenge. It is the Trophy number 54 for the technician Lorenzo Bernardi (between career as a player and coach) who three days ago also managed to defeat in the race-2 of the semifinal Scudetto l’ipa conegliano, back from a strip of 50 wins. For him is the sixth CEV, the first as a coach.

The game

Novara shows up with Tolok opposed to Bosio, Bonifacio and Aleksic in the center, Ishikawa and Alsmeier of Banda and De Nardi Libero. The first set very balanced, where the two sextet leaves appear (9-9). Novara tries to escape, but the Transylvanian do not give up and remain in the wake (24-24). The mosquitoes manage to move to the advantages, in the fifth set point (28-30) with a ribbon outside Rotar. Tolok’s offensive performance is great, which puts 16 points on this part (68% in attack) on the report. It starts again on the lines of the first (8-8), but then the Alba Blaj leads to +2. Leste to recover Bernardi’s girls, good not to let the Romani run away (13-13). Mims enters and Igor Gorgonzola takes off, lengthening on 15-19, and forcing Naranjo Hernandez to Time Out. The Piedmontese savor the cup and the push in the offensive phase is without continuity. Ishikawa with an ACE scores the point of 16-23, Alsmeier puts the ball of 17-24 on the ground and Drussyla’s error sanctions the victory of AGIL in Cev. In the third part, useless for the purposes of the cup and played without too many pressures, Novara is close to close sets and matches for 26-28 thanks to Valkova’s error that shoots the ball on the net.

Alba Blaj Drussyla 13 points, team walls 7 (4 kharchenko), ace team 3. Novara Tolok 22 points, Muri Team 7, ACE Squadra 4.
