Italy-W

Strong block – Arrighetti and Costagrande

Game was mostly one sided with Italy dominating the flow and tempo of it. First two sets were practically the same. Mencarelli’s team was strong from the opening point and in just 47 minutes got the 2-0 lead (25-16, 25-15).

Then the complacency of Italian players gave chance to French girls who were willing to take it. Alexandra Jupiter entered the game in second set and was the best scorer for French team with 12 points, most in the third set that France won by 25-20 score.

After that, Italy realized that France is not at all an easy opponent and played again with force and will as i two first sets. That resulted in one more convincing performance by Italy who won the fourth and final set 25-16.
