Yamamay Busto Arsizio - Imoco Conegliano (full match)

Some 3,000 fans came together at the PalaYamamay for the much anticipated Italian derby that was supposed to highlight the second round of the prelims. Conegliano was paced by their Bulgarian player Emiliya Nikolova who registered 23 points in the end and well marshaled by their American setter Carli Lloyd who found the right tempo especially with opposite Valentina Tirozzi. Conegliano also stood out with their blocks 18 in the end and even though Unendo Yamamay came back after a slow start, that was not enough to stop the run of their compatriots. Young spiker Marika Bianchini was the best player for the hosts. She scored 17 points, including 3 aces. "We need to give some more time to this team which is new and has to learn a lot, and especially needs to find a way to deal with the moments where things are not working as they should", said home mentor Carlo Parisi. "I regret that we lost the second set so badly but we recovered and we played a good third set".
