Florence-Novara 1-3 (19-25, 25-27, 31-29, 22-25) Another lap and another victory for the Igor Gorgonzola Novara who after Bergamo overtook Florence, always 3-1. For the bison, on the other hand, there is still no glory in the new Palazzo Wanny: four games and four defeats. Yet Bellano’s team did their utmost to be able to cope with the highly rated opponent. A speech that applies to all sets, except the first. In the first fraction the Piedmontese have always been in full control of the game, taking advantage of the beautiful evening of Karakurt and Herbots and also of central Washington. On the other hand, however, there were many difficulties in putting balls, starting with Nwakalor who would be the main attacking weapon of the Tuscans. From the second set onwards, the two teams did not spare each other, they created a spectacular and hard-fought challenge.

Battle

–

Novara won in the second fraction to the advantages, but the best we saw in the third set, with Il Bisonte who needed five set points (canceling three match points at the same time) to close at 31-29 and be able to extend the match. A wall by Graziani was decisive. Finally, in the fourth, Novara tried to make a big voice from the beginning. Hanckock relied heavily on Karakurt and Herbots and has certainly benefited from this choice. Nothing to do for the Florentines. In the sprint the 25-22 arrived for the igorine that put an end to this match. Sumptuous performance for Karakurt (30 points), Herbots (21) also very well with such a duo in the field for Novara to win this regular season could be anything but a difficult undertaking. Il Bisonte remains in eighth place at 23 points, but it is also true that he has lost four of the last five games played. Stefano Del Corona
