Grupa Azoty Chemik POLICE and Igor Gorgonzola NOVARA delivered a great Volleyball show on the last day of action in Pool E. The Italians repeated their #CLVolleyW success from this season vs the Polish team, this time outclassing them at 3-1 (in the first match back in November 2020, NOVARA emerged victorious after a tiebreak). With this evening’s victory, the Italians record 6th wins out of 6 matches in Round 4, topping the charts in Pool E, and securing their spot at the Quarterfinals. Chemik POLICE also have motif to celebrate, as they continue ahead to the next phase of the competition, too.

• In the beginning of the match, both teams amazed with intense rallies, following each other in the score. Both the players of Chemik POLICE and NOVARA showed good skills in defence, but with the set unfolding the Italians took control of the game. Haleigh Washington and Christina Chirichella were the best for the Italians, while Jovana Brakocevic was contributing the most for Chemik POLICE.
• In the second set, the host team was slightly better on serve, while Washington and her teammates were dominating on block. Chemik POLICE, however, were able to emerge victorious in this part.
• In the next set, NOVARA maintained high level Volleyball on the net (4 blocks) and speeded up on the serve, which was enough to reclaim the lead. In the remainder of the match, the players around Stefano Lavarini pushed a lot on the attack, and congratulated themselves with the eventual victory.
• The Italian side recorded a total of 13 blocks and 7 aces.
• NOVARA’s setter Micha Danielle Hancock amazed with interesting solutions, and was deservedly named MVP of the match.
• Haleigh Washington and Caterina Bosetti topped the charts with 16 and 15 points, respectively. For Chemik POLICE, Jovana Brakocevic recorded 13.
