November without stop for Prosecco DOC A.Carraro Imoco Conegliano, which in view of a December in which it will be engaged in the Brazilian Club World Cup, anticipates the 14th day of the Regular Season of Serie A1 Tigotà, the first return. At the Palaverde they play against Eurotek Laica UYBA, a team inside the play-off zone capable of bringing the Panthers to the tie-break in the first challenge of the season. For the yellow-blue public it is the right opportunity to hug and greet the former Alessia Gennari, Nanami Seki and Katja Eckl.
The evening marks a “first time” for Matilde Munarini, who starts as a starter in the center with Cristina Chirichella. In coach Santarelli’s chessboard there are also Wolosz-Haak, Daalderop and Sillah spikers and De Gennaro libero . Among the call-ups of the day there is also the Panterina Matilde Borello, born in 2010 of Imoco Next Gen. For the “Butterflies”, coach Enrico Barbolini relies on Seki on the dribble and Obossa opposite, Parra and Battista are the wings, Eckl and Torcolacci are the middle, Pelloni is the libero.
Haak’s 4-5 in the first set has a special flavor: it is point number 3000 for the opposite, already top scorer in the history of the club. It starts uphill, closes by coming back: the Panthers at the start are held back by an excellent UYBA, Sillah’s ring tries to keep the yellow-blues in the wake (14-15), but when Battista slips the winning service the margin is wide for the guests (14-21). The Slovenian band comes close to the fan, 19 points with 3 blocks. Chirichella responds with the same coin from 9 meters (16-21), Ewert and Adigwe replace the starting diagonal. When the set seems definitively slipped away, the Imoco DNA comes out: 7-0 of partial and closure at 25-23, Daalderop unlocks and the advantage comes from an opponent’s error.
Even in the second set the Panthers do not give up despite the difficulties: it is a very long and hard-fought partial, Gabi enters to give support to the defense, Daalderop and Sillah abort 4 set points to their opponents. Dutchman with 9 points, 70% in attack and 1 block, he will be MVP at the end, with 18 points, 1 ace and 3 blocks . But in the long run the butterflies have the upper hand, the 28-30 block is decisive.
The reaction in the third set is furious: 8-3 on the first time-out, Adigwe leads the attack from seat 2 and from the serve. Meme has another successful serve that leads to two more aces (16-10), Daalderop scores and defends when Sillah prints the 19-11. Chirichella stands up to double the UYBA in the score (23-11, 14 centers for the Neapolitan with 0 errors), Adigwe continues to ride the wave and signs the 2-1 (6 points and 3 aces in the set for the class of 2006).
In the fourth set coach Santarelli inserts Fahr to give more depth to the wall when Busto is above in the score (6-10), then Sillah awakens the yellow-blue front line in an amen (9-10, there are 5 points for the Slovenian in the partial with 60% in attack and two blocks). Prosecco DOC takes off (13-11), Gabi fleshes out the second line, Ewert and Haak return to the taraflex when the balance reigns (16-16).
A skidding start for Conegliano, Fahr unleashes 2 blocks immediately (3-0). Haak rounds off twice (9-3 and 11-5), Adigwe at the tail puts the exclamation mark on his performance. Meme closes with 16 points, 4 aces and 3 blocks, the tie-break ends 15-10 . It is the twelfth victory of the Panthers in the league, who remain in first place in the standings.
Do not miss the next appointments at the Palaverde either in a moment full of home matches: Saturday 22 the Panthers play against Il Bisonte Firenze (kick-off 20:30), while Tuesday 25 November the CEV Zeren Group Champions League begins, in the first match of pool D Prosecco DOC faces Ankara Zeren Spor.
