Conegliano consoles itself with bronze, Scandicci knocked out in final for third place

Conegliano’s fifty-fourth and final match of the season will be played at Istanbul’s Ulker Arena at 5 p.m., an unusual time for the Panthers, who would have liked to take the court later.

Remorse for the semifinal remains strong. On Saturday, against the battleground VakifBank, it had really been a whisker away: ahead by two and a half sets and with four match points at their disposal, the Panthers had stroked the feat before the comeback of the hosts, dragged by the Markova-Boskovic pair, scorers of 64 points overall. After more than two hours of very hard battle, the success went to the Turks.

At any rate, Wolosz and her teammates are left with a bronze medal of important weight, won in the Italian derby for third place against Savino Del Bene Scandicci. A result that once again confirms the continuity of the club gialloblù at the top of international volleyball, a stable player at the highest level for more than a decade.

Thus ends another extraordinary season, concluded with 49 victories in 54 matches and with the team reaching the bottom in every competition. A year that still enriches the gialloblù trophy case with the 9th scudetto, the 8th Coppa Italia, the world silver medal and the European bronze medal won today in Istanbul.
