Thanks to a great performance on the block, the home side could come back from a 4-point deficit and open the match in their favour (Marie Schoelzel with 4 blocks in this set).
Improving a lot on the serving, Novara came back, winning the second set, which meant the start of the “cat-and-mouse game” between the teams. The intrigue was alive up until the very last moment of the fourth set, but eventually, the Italians showed mental strength and congratulated themselves with the win.
Overall, the game was a very balanced one, with the Novara team slightly outclassing their opponents on attacking and on the kill blocks (58 to 54 winning spikes, and 14 to 10 kill blocks). Both sides recorded three aces each, and let 18 errors affect their game.
Kenia Carcaces became top scorer of the match (24pts.) and was chosen for MVP of the game. For Allianz MTV Stuttgart, Krystal Rivers finished with the highest number of points (20).
Maria Segura“We were fighting a lot. We lost some energy in the second set and in the last set, the mistakes impacted a lot our result. I think that the fight is still on, and that we can challenge them in Novara.”

Cristina Bosetti“It was a hard match away, with all the travel and the amazing crowd here - the fans created a great atmosphere. In the first set, we have made too many mistakes and were nervous, but after that we managed to find our game. It is not over, there is still a match to play next week, so we hope we can keep it up the same way.”
