The long wave of the playoff climate reaches up to Serie C. And now even Sedico can hope for the goal of the post-season. With two rounds to go, the newly promoted coach coached by Josh De Salvador is two points from third place in the women’s group B which qualifies for the playoffs.
Scopel and teammates come from three consecutive full victories (the last, 3-0, was obtained on the field of Fulgor Thiene) and with a perfect finish they could still enter the top three. On Saturday at 6 pm they will host the third last Vigò in a race that sees them as favorites. On Wednesday 2 June they will visit the Annia in a direct confrontation. The outcome of the Sedicense season will depend on the outcome of these two challenges, as well as on the results of the direct opponents.
«Now we have found the continuity and determination that allow us to win games. Not that we played badly at the beginning of the year “, says the president of Volleyball Sedico, Walter De Barba,” but something was missing to make a result. Now we never give up a single point and this gives us security. Of course, at the beginning we took some losses, but it is also true that we immediately faced the top of the class. Who knows how those matches with San Donà and Medovolley would end if we replayed them today… ».
The sprint for third place is very crowded. Exactly removed, Imoco and Medovolley (first and second respectively with 27 and 24 points), they run for the bronze medal Laguna 13 points (7 games played), Locara 12 (6), Annia 12 (9), Sedico 11 (7), Pojana 10 (8).
The number of games played this time is particularly relevant. To meet the most disadvantaged teams (directly or indirectly) from Covid, in fact, Fipav Veneto has established that, in essence, the order of arrival will not simply be the points in the standings, but the points in the standings compared to number of games played. Given the extremely limited times (the playoffs should start as early as Saturday 5 June) it is likely that the sixteen-year-olds will give up on recovering the game with Locara, postponed a couple of weeks ago due to Covid.
In all cases, the Belluno players will have to try to win the two remaining games, hoping that their opponents will commit some false step. N.P.
