Conegliano hits hard and immediately goes up 11-8, when a 12-point Haak of partial press on the baseline is 17-11 and the set seems close to its conclusion. But that’s not the case, Scandicci goes back down, 19-17 on a block by Antropova on Plummer, Imoco starts again, then Antropova goes to serve at 23-18, and with her at nine meters the draw is reached, Zhu first overtakes the block then hands out. Scandicci cancels three set points in sequence, then it’s up to Conegliano to avoid losing the decisive ball, he succeeds twice with Haak and Fahr, who in turn gets the set point with a block which Plummer transforms into the final 30-28.
The second set is characterized by a predictable balance between the two contenders, until Conegliano surprisingly loses a series of points in sequence when he has a slight advantage: first he hits Zhu, then Haak unleashes an attack that is too long, Washington places the block, then after a pipe from Haak Herbots she earns 3 set points which she herself will achieve on the third attempt in an excellent 7 point fraction. Scandicci wins despite Antropova not being as overwhelming as in the other two matches, while Herbots will score 19 points.
Conegliano reacts immediately and takes the lead 9-4, but it is the greatest illusion, because this third set is also destined for an exhausting tug-of-war. The draw at 11-11 was sealed by a miracle in defense followed by a second line attack from Carol. Haak responds with a block and two aces and scores 11 points, but Antropova scores just as many, keeping Scandicci in the running. Always one step behind, until the team Massimo Barbolini breaks the score at 24 all with an ace from Ognjenovic, rejecting six set points one after the other which in the end however Conegliano transforms into the final 29-27: Plummer (8 points and 80% in attack) also decisive in Imoco to get to 2- 1. In addition to De Gennaro, Robinson-Cook is solid in reception.
In the fourth set it is soon 14-10, 19-14, the points gap for Conegliano becomes 6 (21-15), Wolosz’s block stops Savino Del Bene when she tries to come back up, Plummer’s diagonal wins the first of 4 match points, and Haak closes it on the third.
