In front of nearly 4,000 fans at a packed PalaIgor, Conegliano showcased composure and strength, closing the series 3-1 and earning a ticket to face Vero Volley Milano in the upcoming finals.
The match was tightly contested, with Novara fighting hard to level the series.

Novara started strong, claiming the second set 25-23, thanks to Tolok’s unstoppable spikes. But Conegliano rallied in the last two sets, winning 25-20 and 25-16 to seal the win.
