The Lube victory means third place in the standings, even with a match still to be recovered against Padova. At the end Taranto beats Monza 3-2, also a success for Verona
Seventeenth day in the Super League, let’s see what happened after yesterday’s match Padova-Cisterna finished 2-3.
CIVITANOVA–PERUGIA 3-1 (23-25, 29-27, 25-22, 25-16)
—
Lube maintains their unbeaten home record while Sir Safety collects their second consecutive knockout. Led by Bottolo (mvp) who played the best match of his career, Civitanova showed off a display of great technical level in blocking and attack, putting an opponent on the ropes who had no Ben Tara and Plotnytskyi but who paid for the many mistakes he made and a bad night for his attackers. Lorenzetti’s team faded away as time went by, unlike Medei’s sextet who, with a collective effort of great depth, went on to achieve a comeback success that earned them third place in the standings, despite still having a game to recover against Padova .
Civitanova: Bottolo 20 points. Blocks team 13. Ace team 5. Chinenyeze 4 blocks, Bottolo 3 blocks
Perugia: Herrera 19 points. Team Blocks 5. Team Aces 5. Loser 3 blocks
MODENA–VERONA 0-3 (20-25, 23-25, 23-25)
—
After two consecutive defeats, Rana returns to racing with the corsair feat clearly built on the pitch of a Modena team that runs at alternating current in the presence of a more continuous Venetian sextet. Especially in attack and blocking where Stoytchev’s team built its success with a Mozic in a graceful evening and an elusive Cortesia at the net. Giuliani’s team, very foul, reacts in the second and third sets but does not have the strength to extend the match.
Modena: Buchegger 19 points. Blocks team 4. Ace team 6. Buchegger 3 aces.
Verona: Keita 18 points. Blocks team 10. Ace team 4. Courtesy 5 blocks. Mozic 3 aces and 3 blocks.
MILAN-PIACENZA 3-2 (24-26, 21-25, 25-21, 25-22, 15-9)
—
Piacenza escapes, gains a double advantage by taking advantage of an excellent serve from Romanò and the help of the block in the decisive moments, then Milan reacts and responds with the same coin. Porro from nine meters finds cracks in the opponent’s reception, Reggers and Schnitzer imitate him, then Piazza’s team is very good at not retreating an inch even in the most complicated phases of the match. And the tie break is all Lombard.
Milan: Reggers 21 points. Team aces: 12. Team blocks: 6. Porro 5 aces, Reggers 4 aces, Schnitzer 3 aces.
Piacenza: Romanò 26 points. Team aces: 10. Team blocks: 8. Brizard and Romanò 3 aces
TARANTO-MONZA 3-2 (22-25, 25-20, 23-25, 27-25, 15-11)
—
In the survival challenge, Taranto smiles, returning to celebrate after seven consecutive knockouts and extending its lead over the Brianza in the rankings. Vero Volley, on the other hand, remains with only one victory in the last nine matches and is now three points away from the Apulians who precede them in the standings. The absolute protagonist is Filippo Lanza, 30 points and an impressive 64 percent in attack. He tries to replicate the usual Szwarc, but his 22 ground balls are not enough to win the victory.
Taranto: Throw 30 points. Team Aces: 9. Team Blocks: 13. D’heer 3 aces
Monza: Szwarc 22 points. Team aces: 7. Team blocks: 10. Rohrs and Marttila 3 aces. Di Martino 4 walls
TRENTO-GROTTAZZOLINA 3-2 (25-12, 18-25, 25-17, 23-25, 15-12)
—
Trento wins, but Grottazzolina confirms itself as one of the best teams of the moment. Even without Zhukouski, stopped by an adductor problem, and with Marchiani’s debut as a starter, Yuasa puts the hosts in great difficulty, who need a superlative Michieletto, star of the match with 27 points, to obtain success at the tie break. Bartha’s performance on the block was also impressive: 9 direct points came from the fundamental.
Trent: Michieletto 27 points. Team Ace: 2. Team Blocks: 17. Bartha 9 blocks
Grottazzolina: Tatarov 22 points.
