Three decisive steps towards the play off final. The volleyball team of Salerno Guiscards restarts with momentum and conquers a fundamental victory on the field of Volleyball Primavera. In that of Baiano, after the knockout against Oplonti, the foxes take to the field gritty, determined and determined to immediately close the practice. Without Izzo, coach Tescione moves Sorrentino into the opposite role by inserting De Matteo in the center. It is the two of them together with Rossin who score the first break in the first set, 3-6. Then come the points from Sabato and Troncone for 6-12. The Primavera fails to react and so the Salerno Guiscards easily runs away. Two consecutive points from De Matteo are worth 9-16. Sorrentino’s ace arrives for 11-19. The set slips away and with two consecutive walls, one by Marra and one by Sorrentino, the girls dear to President D’Andrea close 16-25.
The second juncture opens in the sign of Eleonora Sorrentino, top scorer of the match with 17 points, who first in attack and then in service brings the blue-gold to 1-8. Saturday is peremptory in fast, Troncone puts his hands on the wall, Lanari is careful in defense and there is very little to do for the Primavera. The Irpinia coach Buono immediately burns the two time outs but without being able to change the inertia of the set. Salerno Guiscards plays well and gives a show. All the players well driven by marra in the direction score and in the end it is a block on Saturday to close the partial 9-25.
In the third set the foxes then decidedly lower the pace of the game, allowing the Primavera to find the first advantage of the match. It is practically played point to point with the Salerno Guiscards who also finds the advantage after a point by captain Troncone, 8-9 but who is unable to accelerate. The Primavera also moves forward by two, but again Troncone first brings the set back in a draw then scores the point of 16-17. After the new parity at 17, the foxes decide to accelerate and score seven points in a row, with De Matteo and Rossin protagonists. The Primavera canceled three matchpoints but in the fourth the Salerno Guiscards closed winning a fundamental victory, made even sweeter by the simultaneous defeat of Oplonti against the Benevento Academy.
Now in the standings the foxes with two games to play have seven points ahead of Oplonti, now cut off from the game for qualification and nine points over Far Volley Napoli, which, however, still has to play three games. The Neapolitan derby scheduled for Wednesday in the midweek round, with Salerno Guiscards resting, could be decisive. The Salerno women, for their part, will return to the field next Saturday at the Senator against the Benevento Academy which won the first of two tickets up for grabs for the play off finals. «This is a fundamental victory – declared coach Francesco Tescione -. Right now, it doesn’t matter how, it’s just a matter of winning. After the defeat against Oplonti we had to come here to get the three points and the girls responded well, putting a lot of pressure on their opponents in the service. Now we remain focused, we have the goal of the final and we must give our all to achieve this result which would be extraordinary ». Among the protagonists of the match the central Francesca De Matteo: «I am satisfied with this victory, in the first two sets we played well. Now we don’t have to relax, we see the results of the midweek round and then of course we have to think about doing well to achieve the goal we have set ourselves since the beginning of the season ».
