Race 2 at PalaEstra on April 25th
SIENA. The final will therefore be Grottazzolina-Siena. The Marche team, which is first in the standings in the regular season, got the better of Ravenna in the semi-final at the end of a series as hard fought as the one between Siena and Porto Viro. In the Marche region, a tiebreak in game 3 was also necessary to decide which of the two teams would go to the final: Nielsen, the best scorer of the regular season, finished the match with 26 points, 16 were scored by Michele Fedrizzi, who will be one of the exes of the final series.
Final act of the championship starts on Sunday in Grottazzolina: race 1 will begin at 6 pm. Race 2 in Siena on 25 April. The possible race 3 in Grottazzolina on Sunday 28 April.
“Reaching the playoff final is the culmination of an important year and is the reward for the work done by the boys – was the comment after the victory in game 3 of the semi-final by the coach, Gianluca Graziosi –. The reaction we had starting from the second set was important, probably in the first set we still had the residue of match 2 in Porto Viro. It wasn’t easy to recover even from a mental point of view after Sunday’s match. I congratulate the boys, because they managed to play good volleyball, with a good serve and playing with our characteristics.”
The MVP of game 3 was center back Riccardo Copelli, author of 12 points with 3 winning blocks: “I’m very happy for this victory – he said after the match –. I congratulate Porto Viro who played an excellent series and who also has a very high level roster. It will be my third final, but you never get used to these moments, you always feel enormous joy. Now we’re up and dancing. We managed to get this far with a lot of humility and great daily work.”
