The reigning FIVB Volleyball Women's Club World Champions of A.Carraro Imoco Conegliano also did their job right on Wednesday, seizing a 3-0 win against their opponents from Pool A, the French Volley MULHOUSE Alsace. 

Thanks to this victory, the Panthers remain unbeaten in the group, and after four legs of play, are pool leaders. 

The day was a special one for the Italian side because the match against Mulhouse Alsace marked the 200th home match in the history of the club (which began back in 2012). Additionally, the star of the Panthers - Isabelle Haak, had a special encounter on the court with her older sister - Anna, who plays for the French team.  In the "family clash" between the Haak sisters, Isabelle of A.Carraro Imoco Conegliano scored 11 points, her older sister Anna on the other hand 10 for Mulhouse Alsace

It was a close call in the beginning of the first set, as the guests tried to keep up with the hosts’ rhythm (9-9), but a great service serie by Robinson Cook broke the balance, as Alexa Gray and Isabelle Haak scored six points in these moments. Precisely the better performance on attack sealed the deal for Imoco - as the players around head coach Daniele Santarelli finished with 18 winning spikes (to six). 

A similar scenario unfolded in the second set -  the home team took the lead in the middle of the set and never looked back. Excellent Robin De Kruijf (six points, three blocks in the set) and the defence of the libero Monica De Gennaro (who was able to even record a point)! While the Italian domination on attack continued (15 to nine winning spikes), four kill blocks (to zero) made the difference for Imoco in this set.

Although the French tried their best in the third set, the Italians managed to keep calm and seize the victory. Statistically, this was the most balanced set - 11 to 10 winning spikes, three kill blocks each team, two to one aces for the French.
