November 1st – 10.28pm – MILAN

While waiting for the big match of the seventh day of A1 women between Novara and Scandicci tomorrow, Conegliano temporarily sits at the top of the table alone with 20 points by beating Bergamo at Chorus Life in front of over four thousand people. Tomorrow the program opens at 3pm Milan-Monviso, then, beyond Novara, Busto-Macerata, Florence-Perugia, Marignano-Cuneo

volleyball-bergamo-Prosecco Doc A.Carraro Imoco Conegliano 1-3 (25-20, 21-25, 12-25, 18-25)

It takes Conegliano a set to find his rhythm in a match in which Santarelli fields Adigwe as the starter to give Haak some breathing room and with the diagonal of Sillah-Gabi spikers while Bergamo takes advantage of this by immediately starting strong with Cese Montalvo and Kendall Kipp (6 points each in the first set). The Italians struggled in reception and Adigwe struggled to overcome the home team’s wall, forcing Santarelli to resort to a double substitution to bring the Swede onto the pitch. Bergamo still manages to manage the advantage and close the first set. In the second the reaction begins from Conegliano who finally finds the rhythm of Adigwe (7 points in the partial), Gabi also improves.

Bergamo tries to resist, finds an excellent Manfredini (6 points, before the match she was awarded the Barbara Siciliano award as the Best Under 21 of last year), but struggles to keep up with Imoco who maintains the +5 acquired and brings the match back to a draw. In the third Conegliano takes off immediately while Bergamo staggers and even ends up at -11. In the fourth, Parisi’s team held on for just under half a set, then it was Conegliano who pushed the accelerator again and closed the match

Bergamo: Kipp 20, team aces 5, blocks 6 (Manfredini 3)

Conegliano: Adigwe 21 points, team aces 4, team blocks 8 (Adigwe 4)
