The end of the season in the minor volleyball championships is in flames, and consequently the Top Volley ranking is also in flames, on the eve of the final championship in the regional tournaments, except for the men’s D series, and the quarter-last in the National tournaments, where the people of Modena are more than ever the protagonists. For the first time in the season, after many ‘lean’ weeks, this time there are three players above thirty points, two of which are girls, demonstrating a particularly incisive moment: the stage success, and it is the second in the season, and fourth ‘all time’, goes to the 24-year-old spiker from Edil Cam Cavezzo Erica Quaquarelli, who with thirty-two points also equals the women’s seasonal record: behind her, only one point behind, there is a pair formed from the opposite number of Serie C Volley Modena Martina Montanari, and above all from the leader of the General Marcello Andreoli of the National Villa d’Oro, who places the third ‘trentello’ in the last five weeks, where he averages almost 27 points per game. With this series of scores, Andreoli seems determined to take off, given that the previous leader, Emanuele Bertoli of the Tecnoarmet Soliera 150, is at a good level, but definitely far away. Returning to the day’s ranking, after the trio of ‘Trentellanti’, the others are decidedly behind, but interesting names show up such as Cecilia Cavani from Sanmichelese (photo on the left), and Valentina Bernardoni (photo on the right) from Drago Stadium Mirandola, both at 25 points: with one point less we see De Gesu from FB Soliera, and a couple from IES Group Sassuolo, Luca Vellani and Luca Nocetti. 2979.
Rankings. Andreoli’s new result allows him to consolidate his lead in the General classification, where the opposing Rossoneri now boasts a whole point more than Bertoli, 20.2 to 19.2, while curiously the two share the lead in the points ranking with 404 centres: Trophy holder Francesco Venuta of Marking Product Artiglio remains third, but with an increasing gap, while Quaquarelli rises to fourth place, ahead of Luca Bigarelli of Kerakoll Sassuolo by a tenth of a point. Some news in the Top Ten, where Montanari and Rachele Natali of Drago Stadium enter, pushing out Riccardo Calzolari, and Matteo Pignatti: speaking of Natali, with 22 points on Saturday she reaches 3,203, and surpasses Silvia Bellei by two, going up ninth in the all-time ranking, just 14 points behind Chiara Ferrari, who is eighth. In the ranking relating only to the 2024 matches, Andreoli increases his lead further, with an average of 23.70 points per game.
