The visitors were led by an outstanding Isabelle Haak, who was named MVP after scoring 26 points with remarkable efficiency (60% attack). Conegliano’s blocking also proved decisive, producing 11 points at the net and consistently slowing down Ankara’s attackers at key moments.
Zeren fought hard, especially through Uzelac (15 pts) and Lazareva (18 pts), but struggled to contain Conegliano’s serve pressure and balanced offense. Despite moments of resistance in each set, the home side was unable to halt the Italian team’s momentum.
With this victory, Conegliano mathematically clinches the top spot in the group and advances to the Champions League quarterfinals with a round to spare.
