Second day back: let’s see what happened.

Bergamo-Busto Arsizio 3-0 (26-24, 25-19, 25-21)

—

Bergamo defeats Busto in less than an hour and a half, interrupting the long positive streak of Barbolini’s girls. With this success the Bergamo team are placed in fifth place, overtaking Eurotek Uyba, with 27 points. Another masterful performance by Cese Montalvo (Mvp) who scored 23 points with 60% in attack. For Busto, who only really played in the first set, a defeat that does not change the goals at the start of the season. For captain Lualdi’s team, Van Avermaet’s performance was good, scoring 12 points with 63% in attack.

Bergamo: Cese Montalvo 23 points, team blocks 10, team aces 7 (3 Mlejnkova).

—

Novara wins the Piedmontese derby against Pinerolo in four sets. After a start dominated by Agil (first set won with advantages), Bernardi’s team takes measures and knocks out the Pinelle led by Akrari. From place 2 Ishikawa puts the ball on the ground 18 times, with 58% in attack, making her the best on the pitch. Too many errors from Pinerolo (26) which undoubtedly influenced the match. Among the home sextet, Smarzek’s offensive contribution was good (23 points), while Sorokaite appeared to be tarnished (12 points with 32% in attack).

Pinerolo: Smarzek 23 points, team blocks 9, team aces 3

Novara: Ishikawa 18 points, team blocks 8 (5 Aleksic), team aces 3.

Roma-Milan 0-3 (21-25, 23-25, 23-25)

—

Vero Volley conquers the Palazzetto dello Sport in Rome with full points, but not without effort. Cuccarini’s girls gave the sextet led by Heyrman a hard time, with a good reception phase and a good counterattack. The Lombards, strong with Egonu’s slingshots (21 points) and Orro’s lifts (Mvp), at every acceleration scratched the Wolves, who were good at maintaining high concentration even in moments of disadvantage. Milan at 31, while Rome is in third last place at 10, given the defeats of Cuneo and Perugia.

Rome: Orvosova 15 points, team blocks 8, team aces 3

Milan: Egonu 21 points, team blocks 8 (4 Egonu), team aces 4.

Vallefoglia-Perugia 3-1 (19-25, 25-17, 25-23, 25-19)

—

After a crackling start by Perugia, the hosts of Vallefoglia won the 3 points within the friendly walls of Pesaro. Stratospheric game from Candi (Mvp) who scored 20 points (57% in attack), including 8 blocks and 1 ace. The opposing Albanian Bici scores 18 points, while Weitzel, lined up in place 2, scores 12. For Perugia the usual Nemeth keeps the Perugian flag high with 22 points scored (top scorer), while Ungureanu does poorly, scoring only 6 points with 29% in attack. For the green and whites there are now 21 points in the standings, while the Perugia remain fourth from last at 11.

—

Everything went well for Conegliano who won the match 3-0 (14th victory in a row in the championship, still unbeaten) despite a hard-fought match in all parts. The first set starts in a hard-fought manner on both sides, tied at 6. Eckl and Haak score the first break, Botezat responds well to the block for 11-8. Ace from Eze who brings the Friulians within two. However, the home team showed a sprint and scored six consecutive points to take the lead at 19-12. Talmassons, however, does not give up and tries to reinvigorate himself, managing to cancel four set points for Santarelli’s team who then closes at 25-22. Talmassons approaches the second set very well, scoring a break that brings the Friulian team to 3-10. After two set points, however, Conegliano pulls out his claws, bringing the situation back to parity at 12 all. New important break for Conegliano who moves ahead by four points with Lubian’s ace, 18-14. The home team maintains the advantage and closes with Haak at 25-19. The third set is still fought, but in the end the world champions win 28-26.
