The first day of the 1st City of Pordenone Trophy is in the archives: in front of the 1100 of the PalaCrisafulli, the Prosecco DOC A. Carraro beats the CbF Balducci Macerata 3-0 and wins tomorrow’s final against Panathinaikos Athens at 6 pm. Great show also at 3:30 pm, in which the protagonist will be the Megabox Ond. of Savio Vallefoglia, which lost 3-1 to the Greeks, for the final of the 3rd place of the quadrangular.
Panthers on the field with Wolosz directing, Haak is the opposite, Daalderop and Zhu are the spikers, Chirichella and Lubian the middles, De Gennaro the libero. It was the long-distance challenge between coach Santarelli and Valerio Lionetti, once a trusted sidekick and now head coach of Cbf Balducci. In the first set Wolosz sets all the attackers in motion by finding at least one point from each, it closes on 25-17 with an overflowing Haak (8 points with 78%) and an efficient Zhu on the block (2). In the middle of the second set the diagonal changes, Adigwe shows off and Ewert scores two second points, including the set point of 25-18 which is worth 2-0: it is the partial of Daalderop, who shines with 5 points. The script does not change even in the third set, the final one: it is a mistake by Macerata to close the contest, for the Panthers Zhu (11) had scored before, in double figures like Haak and Daalderop, while Lubian is the queen of aces (2).
