Eleventh victory in a row for the league leaders who had 23 points from Haak
CONEGLIANO-SCANDICCI 3-1 (25-22, 23-25, 25-22, 25-16)
—
Conegliano escape after the 3-1 against Scandicci. A match that wasn’t always easy for the Panthers, because for 2 sets the guests’ ball exchange worked well. At 1-0, however, Imoco seems in control, with Antropova well supported, but begins to make mistakes (10 in the partial), and comes back from 22-19. The Tuscans try to escape (7-11 in the third), but the locals respond with a 5-0 scored by Haak (stopped at 2999 points in the Conegliano shirt) and never look back, thanks to the increasingly effective serve that sends the Tuscan second line into difficulty.
Conegliano: Haak 23 points, Muri team 8, Ace team 3 (Haak 3).
Scandicci: Antropova 14 points, Muri team 3, Ace team 3.
FLORENCE-BUSTO 0-3 (21-25, 21-25, 21-25)
—
Second consecutive success for Busto, a privateer on the Florence field with Il Bisonte remaining, for the second race in a row without points. Uyba is good in all the sets (always ending 21-25) to break away in the finals while maintaining a constant level of play, with Seki (Mvp) capable of balancing the attack, fundamental in which the Tuscans struggle too much, with only Knollema, not very brilliant but good at blocking, supporting the weight. Parra did well for the Lombards.
Florence: Knollema 16 points, Muri team 5 (Knollema 5), Ace team 2.
Bust: Parra 18 points, Muri team 6, Ace team 3.
MONVISO-BERGAMO 0-3 (23-25, 15-25, 16-25)
—
Bergamo finds oxygen, confidence and points on the Monviso pitch, winning 0-3 and regaining success (the first away of the season) after 7 consecutive knockouts. The locals start well, but at 22-21 they fade away, with Mlejnkova closing the first set 23-25. The rest of the match is a monologue for Parisi’s girls, incisive in serving and blocking. For the Orobic team, the central game works, with Meli (starter for Strubbe) protagonist with 11 points (4 blocks and 3 aces) like Manfredini and Kipp MVP. For the Piedmontese team there is little or nothing to save, starting with Malual’s difficulties (5/17 and 0 efficiency in attack)
Monviso: Davyskiba 10 points, Muri team 3, Ace team 3.
Bergamo: Kipp 14 points, Muri team 9 (Manfredini and Meli 4), Ace team 6 (Meli 3).
CUNEO-CHIERI 0-3 (20-25, 22-25, 22-25)
—
78 minutes were enough for Chieri to get the better of Honda Cuneo away, beaten 0-3, and reach Novara in fourth place, with Milan (3 points and one more game) in their sights. First set dominated by Reale Mutua, with impeccable blocking and Kunzler and Nemeth attacking in attack and venues only coming alive towards the end. Approach problems for the teams also in the second and third quarters, with only Diop capable of scoring, but the visiting wall-defense continues to work as does the attack led by Van Aalen, MVP of the match.
Wedge: Diop 17 points, Muri team 7, Ace team 3.
Chieri: Nemet 17 points, Muri team 12 (Gray 4), Ace team 5 (Kunzler 3).
Vallefoglia – Macerata 3-1 (25-21, 25-27, 25-22, 25-19)
—
Vallefoglia returns to victory, after three consecutive defeats, winning by three points against Cbf Balducci. Despite the good performance, Macerata is unable to impose its game against Megabox who, except for the second set, was able to lead the match, above all thanks to its opposite Bici (27 points, top scorer and 54% in attack). Even in the defensive and receiving phase the green-and-whites played a good match, with libero De Bortoli on top, ultimately MVP of the match. The hosts were rather foul, especially in the second set, closing the match with 27 errors, compared to 20 for Macerata. With this victory, Vallefoglia rises to seventh place with 13 points, while Macerata remains at 11 points.
Vallefoglia: Bike 27 points, team blocks 7, team aces 7
Macerata: Decortes 16 points, team blocks 6, team access 3.
Perugia – S.Giovanni in M.no 1-3 (22-25, 23-25, 25-20, 21-25)
—
Second victory in the championship for Omag San Giovani in Marignano at the Pala Barton Energy in Perugia, where they gained three very precious points in the key to safety. Perugia is unable to impose its game and falls under the blows of Piovesan (22 points and MVP). Markovic (21 points) and Gardini (18) fail to undermine the Romagna defense, as does Perinelli (10). Omag San Giovanni in Marignano remains at the bottom of the table, but rises to 7, two points behind Bergamo. Bartoccini is eleventh with 10 points.
Perugia: Markovic 21 points, team blocks 10 (Bartolini 4), team ace 1.
S. Giovani in M.no: Piovesan 22 points, team blocks 11, team aces 7 (Kochurina 3).
