Women’s European Championships, Italy knocks out Romania at Arena di Verona
Italy beat Romania three sets to zero in the first match of Pool B of the 2023 Women’s European Volleyball Championships. In the beautiful atmosphere of the Arena of Verona, the Azzurre won with the partials of 25-19, 25-19-25-15, commanding the match quite easily.
Head coach Davide Mazzanti tried some experiments, leaving Paola Egonu initially on the bench: in her place Ekaterina Antropova made her debut in the Azzurri, who finished as top scorer with 13 total points.
The best of the Romanian players was Budai-Ungureanu with 12 points.
Italy is placed in Group B with Bulgaria, Croatia, Switzerland, and Bosnia-Herzegovina. In three days it will face Switzerland.
