ROSOLINA (Rovigo) – Games and entertainment were the protagonists of the last championship. With the stars all aligned, al Rosolina sports hall we had fun seeing the truth Project Star Volleyball: the one made by girls who fight for every ball, who dictate the pace of the match and who add the right amount of nastiness to their technique.
The Fregona Sarmede Chapel he was not an easy opponent, fourth in the standings perhaps he thought he would find a docile and dejected Project for not having succeeded in the salvation feat. If the Treviso team thought they were going on a picnic they were wrong, they found a solid, confident team that didn’t give up an inch.
In the first set, Cappella attempted to break away twice, first at 5-2 and then at 13-7 with the girls coached by the couple Christian Marzolla and Patrizio Fragonas who paired first at 6-6 and then at 16-16 thanks to the Fecchio-Mancin-Tiozzo triad. Ghirardon scored a triple ace to overtake 21-18, while Moretti took advantage of the change to close 25-19.
The guests then opened the second set with a 4-0 which could have sent the Deltas into a tailspin who were good with Captain Mancin who signed the lead 7-7. It was played point by point, then the Delta Tigers roared: Scafidi made a nice 3-0 break to take a 16-12 lead. Cappella tried, well done by the coach who at 21-15 inserted Nordio who took a lead of 23-16. The set ended 25-16 for the Project.
A thrilling third half: on one side the rivals who didn’t want to lose, on the other the PSV girls who wanted to win. It was played point to point with continuous changes of scenery until 12-12 when the Treviso team attempted to escape 14-12. Marzolla called a time-out to encourage the team to stay focused on the goal that was one step away. With Marcon on every ball, taking advantage of the ball change Tiozzo sealed the overtaking with a 5-0 break to take 18-14. It doesn’t matter if Cappella managed to cancel two matchballs, the match ended 25-19.
At Project we’re smiling again. “I always told the girls that ‘there’s no such thing as a perfect match!’ but this time they proved me wrong by playing a perfect match from all points of view – he comments after the match Coach Marzolla -. We played patiently without ever giving up, at certain moments we led the game, at others we chased, caught up and surpassed our opponents both in terms of scores and play. This is a group that deserves much more, with a few less defections and a little more luck we would have achieved safety. In the last few games we have grown a lot, not only in the game but, above all, in personality, both individually and as a group, and it is this element that has made the difference; personality that has always been a bit latent in the other races but which made the difference tonight. Personally I want to thank the girls for what they did. Some time ago I asked them to help me and they not only did, but supported and encouraged me. Thanks girls, you are fantastic.”
“Our girls definitely deserved more in this second year in Serie C, unfortunately that’s how it went but we’re not giving up – remarks President Mirco Mancin -. It was a complex season for various reasons, the reaction we had in this last match was not obvious, just as the fact that they cornered a valuable opponent who didn’t give us any discounts is not trivial. The team had a surge of pride which gives us hope for the future. As a club we have never lacked support for the technical staff and the athletes, we need to start from here to become stronger.”.
