On the fifth day of return, with Egonu subdued, the MVP is Piva. At the Pala Barton Diop dominates
Away victories for Milan and Cuneo respectively in Macerata and Perugia in the advance matches of the fifth return day of the women’s championship.
MACERATA-MILAN 0-3 (22-25, 19-25, 18-25)
—
Numia Milano’s 2026 season begins with an away victory, the fifth of the season in the league, at the home (sold out) of Cbf Balducci Hr Macerata. Match without too many worries for the Lombard team, who started slowly, held back by some inaccuracies in reception, but in the first set they broke away towards the end. In the second and third the guests make a gap in the central phase also helped by the block. With Egonu subdued, Lavarini leaves ample space for the reserve diagonal Miner-Akimova (good responses), while Piva (Mvp) confirms the good moment. For Macerata, who at times gives their most esteemed opponents a hard time thanks to good defenses, the usual Kokkonen does well, while Sismondi and Ornoch struggle, starting for the first time in the season.
Macerata: Kokkonen 15 points, Muri team 5, Ace team 2.
Milan: Lanier, Akimova and Piva 12 points, Muri team 9, Ace team 3.
Perugia-Cuneo 0-3 (22-25, 28-30, 26-28)

Cuneo Granda obtained the three points at the Pala Barton in Perugia in a hard-fought match, especially in the second and third sets, where the guests were able to be more cynical and concrete at the net, especially with Diop (26 points, including 3 aces, and MVP). A setback, despite Gennari’s new addition, for Giovi’s girls which weighs heavily in terms of salvation. Opposite situation for the teams who can breathe a sigh of relief, also in view of the next match against Florence. Despite having more fouls (20 errors in Cuneo, 11 in Perugia), the Piedmontese team were better at serving with 8 aces. None for the Black Angels. Cuneo now has 20 points in the standings, while Bartoccini remains second to last at 12.
Perugia: Markovic 15 points, team blocks 10, team aces 0
Wedge: Diop 26 points, team blocks 8, team aces 8 (3 Diop)
