Garlasco collapses with the fifth consecutive knockout

S. Donà conquers the PalaRavizza. The lomellini start well and win the first set, then collapse. Now they are third last

PAVIA

Another defeat, the fifth consecutive and the sixth in seven games of the second round coinciding with the technical management of coach Bertini and now Volley 2001 Garlasco, beaten at PalaRavizza in four sets by San Donà di Piave, is third from last, surpassed in the standings by Savigliano who won by three with Belluno. Friday night in Bologna is recovery-play-off at this point to avoid first of all the penultimate place which means relegating directly to Serie B.

Garlasco anger at the start

Determined and angry approach of the 2001 Garlasco Volleyball that defends and blocks with punctuality. The choice of Miglietta in starting six pays immediately because the player puts in a row a great defense, a block and a winning parallel for the 7-3 on the coaches Toffoli must ask for time which, returning to the field, is followed by an ace from Magalini to on 8-3. On Basso’s turn, San Donà returns and this time the time out is for Bertini at 8-7. Two consecutive errors by Magalini in attack allow San Donà to equalize (9-9). From here on a prolonged point to point develops (17-17) with errors on both sides prevailing over direct points. Garlasco’s serve repeatedly seeks Merlo putting him in difficulty (18-16), Puliti in pipe signs on 22-19, but San Donà di Piave does not give up and returns to altitude on 22-22. The final, however, and finally, smiles at Volley 2001 Garlasco which finds 23-22 with Magallini’s hands-out, wall setball with Giampietri and 25-22 with Magalini’s ace again. It is Basso for San Donà di Piave to sign the most significant points at the start of the second fraction such as the wall on Miglietta (3-6) or the attack of 4-8. Bertini’s guys do not find the handle for the coupling, they reach a maximum of -2 (9-11) on a Venetian error. It is suspension for coach Bertini on the guest break (12-17), but soon after Puliti goes wide (14-20), on the block and in attack the team of coach Toffoli no longer misses a shot (16-23) and with a ace favored by the tape equalized the set count (16-25).

Prolonged balance in the first part of the third set (7-7), it is a suspension at 7-9 for coach Bertini who does not want to let his opponents run away. In reality, his parents begin to quarrel with the punctual Venetian wall and pay dearly for some amnesia in reception slipping under 13-17. At 15-18 Bertini alternates the free with the entry of Resegotti, San Donà di Piave does not miss the management of the ball change (17-21) until Merlo’s error on which coach Toffoli takes time (20-22). Giampietri and Di Noia on the wall sign the -1 (22-23), but Vaskelis, a decisive factor from the second set onwards, removes the chestnuts from the fire and incredibly Garlasco drops the next ball due to collective incomprehension (22-25). Here the game actually ends because Garlasco mentally melts away and the Venetians restart strong (0-3 and 3-6). Bertini is in time out (4-8) when the visiting block stops him again and at 4-10 he takes away Puliti and inserts Crusca. But Garlasco has disconnected and makes mistakes in series, coach Bertini runs out of suspensions at 4-12, without being able to avoid a bad final of collective disconnect (8-20) confirming that Volley 2001 is really bad and words now do not serve more. –
