Novara-vs-Vakifbank
It will be an all-Italian 2019 CEV Volleyball Women’s Champions League final as Igor Gorgonzola Novara won the golden set against the reigning champions VakıfBank İstanbul in the semifinal rematch. Thus, right after playing their first-ever Champions League semifinals, Novara will play the historical, first-ever, gold medal encounter – the Super Finals in Berlin (May 18). And there, they will face compatriots Imoco Volley Conegliano.
The Turkish side bounced back in a strong manner after losing the first leg in straight sets and achieved an away 3-1 win (25-23, 25-20, 15-25, 25-21) in a crowded Pala Igor Gorgonzola (3,300 spectators). But, that was an end of VakıfBank’s battle against tireless and super-fine Paola Egonu. A 21-year-old opposite hitter continued to pour in and finished the match with 39 points, closing a duel with an ace! Zhu Ting scored 26 points for the losing side but could not help VakıfBank contest for the third straight trophy in Europe’s premier club competition.
