Nice volleyball match in this home round of the Junior League between Kemas Lamipel S. Croce and Consar Ravenna. Two competitive and well-placed Under 20 teams, a “spot” for men’s volleyball. The hosts, without Loreti, tried especially in the first three sets, winning the first and fighting on equal terms in the others, only to then give in at a distance in parallel with the growth of Ravenna, who took a while to loosen up but at the at the end, despite lacking, in turn, Bovolenta, she managed to show off her supposed superiority by pushing hard on serve and relying on an opposite Orioli format (24 points). Among the red and whites 21 points for Mati and 20 for Brucini. The second defeat in two matches, after the tie-break lost in Castellana, marks the Wolves’ exit from the competition, but it was a good experience and something important for the whole movement.
Kemas Lamipel on the pitch with Lorenzo Camarri as setter, Mati as opposite, Brucini and Matteini on the sides, Russo and Baldini in the middle, Moretti as libero. Ravenna responds with Mancini as director, Orioli as opposite, Pascucci and Feri as laterals, Tomasini and Menichini in the centre, Chierla as libero.
1 set. Lupi advantage, great red and white start, immediately +3 (9-6). Paglia’s boys try to manage the advantage but Ravenna gets into a rhythm in attack and proves, as expected, to be a difficult customer to contain with the block-defense. At 16-16 Mancini makes a mistake from 9 meters and Mati smashes his hands against the wall: +2 for the hosts, guest time-out. Mati again, this time from place 4 brings down the 20-17, then a Brucini show with the 21-18 in the “pipe”. The red and white advantage increases and for Consar it is time for the second discretionary one. Upon returning Mati again for point number 23, then Russo set-point. The decisive serve is entrusted to Gallina: good serve, Ravenna puts her out in attack and the Wolves take away the first set.
2 Sep. The guest reaction is vehement. Orioli pushes the lob for 2-5, then puts it long on the diagonal and launches his team at +4. The show of the spiker born in 2004 does not stop and then Pagliai stops the game, calling the time-out. Matteini breaks the opponent’s break, then Tomasini makes a mistake in attack: 4-9. Kemas Lamipel patiently tries to mend the score, a “place” from Brucini is worth 8-12. Mati brings the boys closer again, 11-13., then 12-13 with a comeback that leaves the spectators scratching their hands. Ravenna time-out. The guests regain confidence and take a break margin, always led by Orioli. The Wolves remain within range of their opponents, Baldini gains the lead 19-21 in the first half. A rare error by Orioli from place 2 puts the red and whites at -1, but a lob by Feri brings Consar back to 20-22. Second discretionary by Pagliai. Upon returning, Mancini hits the serve, but Brucini imitates him and the distances remain unchanged. Another error from 9 meters, Feri, but on the following exchange Orioli gains the set-point. The first is canceled out by Brucini, on the second Mati forces too much and the set slips into the host’s hands.
3 Sep. The partial starts in absolute balance, 8-8. Pascucci with an ace pushes Ravenna to +2. Then the guest three-man block intercepts Mati. Time-out Wolves. The guests push the serve and work well at the net, but Kemas Lamipel with character “holds on”. At 13-14 Gallina takes over Camarri as dribbler. Brucini is relentless, 14-15, but Ravenna always finds the break solution from 9 meters and extends further after a direct point from Feri, 16-19. At 18-21 Pascucci blocks Mati’s way, +4 Ravenna and set directed by Mancini’s next ace. Brucini puts down the ball to make it 21-24 and the next one with an ace, but after the time-out Orioli closes.
4 Sep. Ravenna’s start is once again burning, 2-7. Pagliai tries Montini in place of Matteini, while Camarri acts as director again after the rest period of the previous set. Unlike the fourth set, Consar doesn’t slow down and the gap remains wide. At the score of 8-13 Pagliai is forced to time out. Fatigue is making itself felt among the hosts. Montini also comes on midway through, but the guests seem to be in total control: 12-18, Pagliai runs out of discretionary options. Pascucci stops Mati for 14-21. The Wolves try to stay in the match led by a Brucini in great shape but the visiting team now has the “fifth” inserted and cannot be caught. Pascucci closes, 16-25.
