The series of 4 consecutive victories for Nova Volley comes to an end, giving way to Sabini Castelferretti (0-3) still in the running for a place in the playoffs. At the Palaserenelli the guests deservedly won while Iurisci’s team remained in 6th position. For two sets the Falconaresi lead the way with a few black and green flashes. In the 3rd set the match is alive but the guests close it without hesitation. The guests were better at blocking (11 against 4), in attack 47% against 35% and on serve 4 against 1.
Loreto lines up with Campana as director, captain Torregiani as opposite, Alessandrini and Areni as spikers, Mangiaterra and Marchetti in the center, Dignani as libero. For the guests, Giuliani as director, Violini as opposite, Mancinelli and Schiavoni as spikers, Mazzanti and Giaccaglia as central defenders, Marchetti as libero.
Sabini starts well (4-7) but Loreto’s ball exchange is not fluid. Alessandrini leads the recovery (7-9), Areni’s ace brings Loreto back to -1. The home error convinces coach Iurisci at the first timeout (10-13). Carotti enters for Mangiaterra (10-16) and Vecchietti for Alessandrini. Mancinelli’s ace certifies the escape (11-19). Carotti’s serve and Areni’s attacks keep the set alive (15-19). Marchetti walls Schiavoni who is replaced by Toccacieli (16-19). Mancinelli closes 21-25. The streak of consecutive sets won by Nova Volley Loreto stops at 12. At the restart Iurisci chooses the same ones who have almost completed the comeback but Sabini still starts strong (2-6) and Iurisci is forced to stop his players. Conocchioli enters for Torregiani (5-10) and then Forconi for Campana (6-12). The inertia is all for the guests. Pettinari enters for Mazzanti in Sabini (7-14). Vecchietti mura Violins (9-14). Campana and Torregiani return (12-18). The guest wall keeps good guard and pushes Sabini towards the finish line (15-21). Loreto tries to believe it (20-23) and Fabbietti asks for time. Giaccaglia closes 20-25. In the 3rd set Alessandrini is back on the court for Areni while Pettinari remains on the court for the injured Mazzanti. We start in balance (4-4). Loreto takes the lead (8-7) with Carotti. Finally the match is balanced and fought (11-10). Loreto tries to keep the contest alive (15-17) but Sabini pushes. Mangiaterra and Areni return (16-20).
