Sir Susa Vim Perugia is back in the Scudetto Final series. In a completely sold out PalaBarton and in a wonderful and engaging atmosphere, Angelo Lorenzetti’s Block Devils beat Mint Vero Volley Monza 3-1 in Game 3 and moved up to 2-1 in the victory tally. Two perfect sets for president Sirci’s men who shoot from nine meters and find great continuity in attack. From the third set the match becomes balanced. Monza finds rhythm in the side out and finds two important offensive ends in Loeppky and Takahashi. The guests shortened the lead with Maar’s ace, then in the fourth set Perugia, pushed by Semeniuk and Ben Tara, started again in fourth place. Leon enters for Plotnytskyi and the Juventus captain is decisive for his lead with a series of serves that dig the furrow (from 19-17 to 23-17). Ben Tara’s final point explodes the five thousand of the PalaBarton. Perugia wins the challenge in several fundamentals. Serving (9 aces against 5), attacking (57% against 45%) and blocking (10 direct points against 5). MVP of the match was Ben Tara, who finished with 20 points, 4 of which were blocks. Double figures for Plotnytskyi and Semeniuk (14 and 12 respectively), 9 for an excellent Russian (88% in the first half). In the Monza ranks Loeppky scores 17, Takahashi 14 with 2 aces, Maar 11. The series now returns to Monza for Game 4 on Sunday 28 April.
