RIVAROLO Canavese
Best start of women’s Serie C playoffs, the Finimpianti Rivarolo of coach Beppe Orlandi could not do it: 3-0 victory at home against the Alexandrians of the Occimiano on Wednesday 23, thanks to the strength and determination of a group that did nothing wrong in any fundamental .
But now, to complete the work, one last step is needed, a final decisive step: tomorrow, Saturday, the Alto Canavese team, at 8 pm, will face Club Novara at the Peretti gym in Novara, a team that this year has always won. It will not be a match like the others at all, because whoever wins will arrive first in the triangular E and will win promotion to the B2 series in the 2021/2022 season (in B2 there will also be one between Almese, Savigliano and Lingotto, inserted instead in group F).
Coming now to the Finimpianti Rivarolo match against Occimiano, coach Orlandi on the eve must also do without the opposite Lastella, who joins Vevey and Fina and so throws Giulia Costa, born in 2005, into the fray from the first set, while the rest of the formation is the typical one: Armando dribbling, Giacomazzi opposite, Stecconi is the other band, Giulia Crespan and Curti in the center and Cassolaro free. Right from the start of the first fraction Finimpianti Rivarolo sets its own pace to the race and is in front with a good margin, closing the first set 25-20. Script that is repeated in the second fraction, the one in which Occimiano tries to give everything, to try to avoid elimination (he had already lost the first match 1-3 at home last Saturday, June 19 against Club Novara), but also on this occasion the intensity put in place by the rivarolesi is impossible to bend: Finimpianti Rivarolo ahead 16-12 and then 20-17, before closing the contest 25-19.
Finally in the third and last set the hosts start again with their foot pressed on the accelerator and also taking advantage of the now little resistance put by Occimiano, closing the Alexandrian practice on 25-16. –
