Conegliano is back on track. The defending champions swept Igor Gorgonzola Novara 3–0 (20–25, 17–25, 21–25) in front of nearly 4,000 fans in Novara, putting early doubts to rest. Isabelle Haak earned her fourth MVP title in five matches with 20 points, while Gabi and Lubian added 13 and 11. Herbots (11) was Novara’s only double-digit scorer. The win lifts Conegliano to 14 points, three clear of Novara.
Reale Mutua Fenera Chieri enjoyed a comfortable 3–0 victory over Volley Bergamo (25–18, 25–19, 25–14). MVP Van Aalen ran the offense flawlessly, with Nemeth (20) and Kunzler (13) leading the attack. Bergamo never found rhythm.
Tough luck for Honda Cuneo Granda Volley, who fell 2–3 to Bartoccini Mc Restauri Perugia after a close, two-hour battle. Despite four players in double figures — Pucelj (22), Diop (17), Keene (15), Pritchard (14) — Perugia’s Gardini (MVP, 19 points), Perinelli (16), and Williams (15) sealed the comeback.
