Women’s A-1 volleyball, Milan doesn’t make discounts and also overwhelms Macerata

Macerata-Milan 0-3 (14-25, 23-25, 21-25) Not even the efforts of the Champions League slow down the progress of a Vero Volley who suffers in the second set, but also shows a lot of strength, and conquers three precious points for his ranking thanks to blocks (10 blocks, of which 4 from Stevanovic) and service (8 ace) who made the difference. The rest was designed by the direction of Orro (mvp) who distributed the attacking game of his team. Macerata rings in the ninth consecutive defeat, sees his ranking more and more critical and above all he eats his hands for having thrown away a second set in control naively wasted in the final part. The players Lube Diamantini and De Cecco were also present at the palas, given the postponement of their championship match. In the ranks of the Cbf the technician Paniconi tries to change set-up, starting from the beginning Okenwa in the role of opposite, So in the center and Chaussee spiker. But it’s of little use, because Vero Volley immediately starts off like a rocket by putting the opponents under the fundamental block (4 winning blocks) which digs the first break in the opening bars of the set. Gaspari’s team shows all its power and effectiveness both in service and in attack in the presence of a Macerata who suffers too passively the strength of the opponents. Who sink to 4-13, raise the pace of their game by easily winning the set.

The big break

—

In the second Cbf on the field with Abbott, who had closed the previous partial by taking over Chaussee, and with a different attitude and determination. What is surprising is Vero Volley who accuses a heavy deficit until 18-11: inside Thompson who will prove to be decisive in the run-up that is completed with the block of Candi and the ace of Orro who signs the overtaking (20-21). Then Thompson closes Milan’s rise on the second set ball in a crazy set that the CBF lets slip in the final. Third in which Vero Volley seems to regain the inertia of the match: with Macerata going back to being foul and Larson increasing the Lombard advantage (6-9). Stevanovic’s block appears to be an early sentence for CBF Balducci who sees the opponents run away on 11-17. Milan has the three-point success in its grasp and is going to conquer it.
