Prosecco Doc Imoco, down 2-0, overturns the game by winning the tiebreak: panthers awarded by Mattarella
ROME. Prosecco Doc Imoco Conegliano wins the Italian women’s volleyball cup by beating Igor Gorgonzola Novara in the final in Rome with a score of 3-2 (19-25, 19-25, 25-21, 25-22, 15- 13). This is the fourth trophy for Imoco Volley after those won in 2016/17, 2019/20 and 2020/21.
The President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella awarded the Imoco with the Italian Cup. A long applause greeted the arrival on the parquet of Mattarella, who then handed the cup to the captain, Joanna Wolosz, also reserving a greeting to the Novara captain Cristina Chirichella. The President then greeted all the players with applause, then left the field to allow the two teams to take the usual photos and the Conegliano girls to celebrate the trophy.
«In the Befana sock, the panthers in yellow made us find a very sweet gift, yet another victory in a real never ending story. The precious necklace around the neck of these extraordinary girls gets longer, with an incredible comeback ». Thus the President of the Veneto Region, Luca Zaia, greets the victory of Imoco Volley Conegliano in the final of the women’s volleyball Italian Cup, which ended a little while ago, in the presence of the President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella. «It was absolutely not easy – adds Zaia – both for the international caliber of the rivals from Novara, and because the very unfortunate European final in Istanbul could also have left some psychological dross. They reacted as extraordinary champions, even at 0-2, with the big heart, intelligence and excellent technique that have already made them great in the history of volleyball – he concludes -. This trophy is worth much more than an Italian Cup, as well as the understandable emotion in receiving it from the hands of President Mattarella ».
