Certosa falls in Monza, farewell to the regional final

Coach Di Toma’s team ends up knocked out in the golden set, wasting a golden opportunity after the 3-0 victory of the first leg

MONZA

Even this will not be the right year to historically celebrate a team from Pavia winning the regional women’s Under 18 volleyball title. Yet, Colombo Impianti Certosa Progetto Pro Patria had come within one set of the final after the 3-0 victory in the first leg of the semifinal. But yesterday afternoon at the palaCandy in Monza the girls of coach Federico Di Toma unfortunately cooked a colossal omelette, throwing away an occasion that does not pass every day and managing to lose the return match 3-0 and then also the decisive golden set. Thus, in the final goes the Vero Volley Monza Torneria Colombo which will challenge who will emerge as the winner from the semifinal series between Chorus Volley Bergamo and Volley Brianza Est Bellusco.

THE FINALINA

The loser, on the other hand, will face off against Colombo Impianti Certosa next Sunday in a final that in any case is giving away another place in the national championship finals which, barring changes, should be held in Verona in the last weekend. of May. The final and finalina will both have the sports hall of Montichiari as a setting next Sunday. As for yesterday’s match, the Brianza players played without fear. Under 19-16 in the first set, Certosa goes back 19-18, then collapses 24-18 overwhelmed by an incredible series of errors, goes back 24-20, but then gives 25-20. The 4-8 start of the second set deceives, but in an amen it is nullified by the comeback from Brianza facilitated by a shaky reception and too many late covers (14-12). Coach Di Toma runs out of suspensions at 17-12 and, after a partial comeback (19-17), Monza doubles (25-20). Another illusory start of Certosa (1-4), then total darkness (17-11) in every fundamental (25-14) and we arrive at the golden set that never has history (8-2 at the change of field) and that Monza wins 15-9 winning the regional final. –
