Imoco closes the semi-final series with the Piedmontese and wins the eighth consecutive championship final. Tomorrow at 8.30pm the other semi-final
In just three matches Conegliano gained access to its eighth consecutive championship final (in 2020 the championship was interrupted due to the pandemic), the ninth in the last eleven championships, tenth in total. Nothing to be done for Igor Novara, who stopped in the semi-finals for the fourth year in a row, again at the hands of the panthers.
the match
—
Conegliano, without Zhu, started badly with 9 errors in the first set (6 on serve), Novara, in turn without Tolok due to a shoulder problem, played clean and orderly, also hitting three aces. Igor continues to make few mistakes even in the second set, but the Panthers raise the engine revs with Gabi (5 consecutive points) and Fahr. Bernardi removes Bonifacio and Mims for Bijens and Herbots, but fails to reverse the inertia. The third set is the most balanced. Conegliano maintains a break lead until 21-19. Then he makes three direct errors, Squarcini blocks Gabi for 23-24. Novara wastes 4 set points. Haak and Fahr reverse the situation by making themselves heard on the wall. We also fight point to point in the fourth, where Novara holds a break lead up to 21-21. However, in the end the mosquitoes make too many mistakes and give way. Conegliano is waiting to meet their opponent, one between Milan and Scandicci, on the pitch tomorrow evening. Both have already taken two trophies away from the Gialloblù, the Super Cup and the Club World Cup respectively. The challenge for the tricolor will begin on April 11th.
