Cortina Express goes smooth on velvet. Trieste swept away

The Cortina Express girls at the end of the race

No worries for the Belluno players in replicating the 3-0 of the first leg. Next opponent, Vega Fusion

Insatiable wolves at De Mas. The Cortina Express eliminates Virtus Trieste and flies to the B2 women’s playoff semifinals. You will find the Vega Fusion: race-1 in Venice (probably Thursday at 8pm), race-2 on Sunday (at 6pm) at De Mas. Against Virtus, the Belluno people show that they never want to be satisfied. And, after the 3-0 win against Trieste last Wednesday, they are repeated in the spotlight of the De Mas sports hall, scoring another 3-0 with even clearer contours.

It would have been enough to win two sets last night; but Fantinel and her companions gave everything to win big.

And so it went. Coach Dario Pavei confirms the sextet that in the first leg had offered an exemplary test, with Mengaziol and Garzaro composing the diagonal setter – opposite, captain Fantinel and Fioretti on the bands, Chiericati and Fiabane in the center, with Giulia Pavei free.

The Trieste, for its part, arrives in Belluno to play everything for everything. In the first set, not surprisingly, the two teams battle blow for blow with continuous stretches from one side and the other. The Cortina Express tries to gain altitude for the first time with Fantinel (7-2) but Trieste comes back (7-7 with captain Sartori) and turns the situation around with Martina (7-8). The Belluno counter-pass is still the work of Captain Fantinel (9-8). The joke reveals itself from the first set as a weapon capable of making a difference.

To return to the double advantage (14-12), Mengaziol’s ace is necessary. Trieste, however, defends with great attention and with a new break (this time 4-0) goes back 16-14. At 15-18, Pavei plays the Poles card (kept as a precaution at rest in game-1) in place of Fioretti. The entrance is positive, because Belluno is once again moving forward. Prima Fiabane, with a lob, gives the wolves the point of 24-21. Then Trieste, with captain Sartori attacking the ribbon, hands over the point of 25-23 in the hands of the Bellunesi.

In the second set, Poles is revived from the beginning.

The Bellunesi start strong, double Trieste 6-3 (Fantinel) and on 8-3 the visiting coach is forced to call a new time-out. Belluno goes into double figures again with Fantinel (10-4) who is then devastating at bat (14-6).

At the center, Fiabane’s performance becomes more and more convincing: his ball is worth the 23-14. The Cortina Express begins to smell the passage of the shift.

Fantinel (24-15) offers Belluno the opportunity to close the qualifying discussion. Which comes when Trieste fails to serve (25-16), giving the wolves the most delicious prey: access to the playoff semifinals.

At the start of the third set, Pavei brings back the sextet that won the pass for the second round. Not sated yet, Belluno bites the third set (4-0) thanks to an impeccable turn at Poles. Then he flies up to +8 again with Poles (12-4). On 13-7, Marchesan takes over Mengaziol in the control room.

On 18-9, on the other hand, it is Bortoluzzi’s moment, who points out Chiericati at the center. Then it’s up to the relay between Fiabane and Ingrosso. In the final Garzaro does not do saccounts: 23-16. But to close the games is Poles: with a double ace for the final 25-16.nicola pasuch
