Paola Egonu, calendar

Coach Marco Gaspari’s Allianz Vero Volley Milano, è is ready to return to the court the day after tomorrow, Sunday, March 31, at 5 p.m. (live Sky Sport and volleyballworld.tv), at the Allianz Cloud, against Wash4Green Pinerolo for Game-2 of the Quarterfinals of the Play Off Scudetto Serie A1 Tigotà 2023/24. After securing the first confrontation, after a nail-biting match resolved only at the tie-break, Orro and her teammates move to the PalaBus Company in Villafranca Piemonte to close the series.

Winning Game 1 at the tie-break, at the end of a balanced and at times spectacular match, Orro and her teammates aim to take advantage of the first available opportunity to close the Series against the Piedmontese and fly to the Scudetto Semifinals. First confrontation in the championship aside, won by Milan 3-0 at home, the third challenge of the season against Pinerolo once again proved to be tough, being the second tie-break played out of three confrontations. After a fast start in the first set, won thanks to a breakaway in the early stages, Vero Volleyball succumbed to the pinelle’s plays in the second and third parts, once again very hard fought. In the fourth set Milan raised the level of wall-defense correlation with Folie and Rettke, starting to sting in the offensive phase also with Egonu’s attacks. On the shields was Myriam Sylla, MVP of the challenge with 19 points and an attack percentage of 51%. The top-scorer è was Paola Egonu, with 31 points, while in double figures also went Cazaute (17) and Folie (13).

In its previous experiences in the Scudetto Playoffs, Milano è went to Game 3 in the Quarterfinals three times out of seven appearances (18/19 season against Busto Arsizio, 20/21 against Chieri and 22/23 against Casalmaggiore). On two other occasions the pinks were eliminated (16/17 season in the Round of 16 and in 17/18 in the Quarterfinals, in both cases by Busto Arsizio).
