Her dunks, however, were not enough for a team that still lacks something.
The risk of not going beyond the fourth place is concrete.
Also because Saturday there will already be the big match with Conegliano.
The Allianz Cloud is already sold out for the'last home match of 2025.

The Consortium team, already able to bend the “panthers” champions of everything in the Supercup final played in Trieste, granted the encore by winning three very heavy points in the race for the top positions. Conegliano had started better, imposing itself in the first set, but from the second partial onwards it began to pay for an excessive number of errors in attack. Milan took advantage of this to restore the balance, then directing the match in the third set, the real pivot of the match.

At the advantages, Paola Egonu, top scorer of the match with 32 points, took the lead, while on the other side Isabelle Haak appeared unusually struggling. The 31-29 of the third partial actually marked the turning point: in the fourth set Conegliano gradually raised the white flag, seeing a record-breaking positive series come to a halt.

Thanks to this success Milan moved back to within one length of Reale Mutua Fenera Chieri and two points of Igor Gorgonzola Novara. It is precisely the “mosquitoes” that will be the next opponents of the Stefano Lavarini-led lineup, which will return to the court as early as Tuesday at 8 p.m. in Piedmont for the quarterfinals of the Italian Cup, in a dry game.
