Imoco Volley Conegliano

PROSECCO DOC IMOCO WINS THE “CITTA’ DI CONEGLIANO”: DRESDEN KO (3-0), PANTHERS OK AT ZOPPAS ARENA

Closing day at Zoppas Arena for the 2nd City of Conegliano Trophy.
In the final for third place the Serbs of Zeleznicar bent with difficulty the young Slovenians of Banka Branik from Maribor, then the final with the highly applauded hosts of Prosecco DOC Imoco Conegliano on the court who bent the Germans of Dresden winning the tournament.
At the end Mayor Fabio Chies and Sports Councillor Primo Longo awarded the teams after a two days of international volleyball that allowed the Panthers to start the run-in ahead of the Supercup on the 28th in Rome (in between the Courmayeur Tournament next weekend) and the Gialloblù public (more than 1,000 in attendance) to break the fast after a month of only training. Coach Santarelli in the final with Dresden besides Lubian also leaves at rest another Olympic gold medalist, Moki De Gennaro, in her place in the sextet as libero the young Bardaro together with Wolosz-Haak, Gabi-Lanier, Chirichella-Fahr.
The first partial is a gialloblù monologue with the Germans in clear difficulty since the reception and a Prosecco DOC Imoco sparkling to the right point both in the wall-defense and in the attack where the solutions available to captain Wolosz, who triggers all his firepower, abound, both from the first and second line.
25-12 the first partial for the champions of Italy and Europe. In the second set, the match becomes balanced and Dresden, a top team in the German league, puts Gabi and her teammates on the ropes until 15-15.
The Panthers look for the break with missiles from Bella Haak and the Brazilian herself (19-16), Bardaro handles defense and reception well, then Prosecco DOC Imoco flies away between a wall from Fahr and an offensive solution from Lanier or Chirichella for the 25-20 that closes the partial.
In the third set, Lukasik enters for Lanier and Conegliano continues to push taking an immediate lead (5-0) with “sparkling” points from Gabi and Fahr.
Prosecco DOC Imoco does not stop, coach Santarelli empties the bench (inside the double change with Seki and Adiwge, then Eckl in the middle), but the result is always firmly in the hands of the Panthers who close 25-15 and leave to the applause of the audience after a “two days” at Zoppas Arena that gave good indications to coach Santarelli in view of the upcoming commitments, with the Supercup in the sights.
