Yamamay BUSTO ARSIZIO sweeps Robur Tiboni URBINO for final CEV slot – Volleyball news
A semi final match of the 2012 CEV Volleyball Cup – Women took place recently in the Italian city of Urbino.
The two teams competing against each other were the Yamamay BUSTO ARSIZIO squad as well as the Robur Tiboni URBINO side. The match between the two teams did not take long to reach its close as the guests were able to secure themselves a win by making a clean
sweep over the home side.
The first set of the match was completely dominated by the guests and the home team showed some spark only in the second frame but could not swing things in their favour. The third set of the match tilted towards the guests and the scoreboard showed the
following final set scores at the close: 25-19, 28-26 and 25-20.
The head coach of the Yamamay squad, Carlo Parisi, shared his views in the following manner at the press conference that was conducted after the match had reached its close, “I think the turning point came as we fought back in the second set, since afterwards
we could control the match and pocket our ticket to the final. I am proud of my players because they always deliver a great and passionate performance especially under difficult circumstances. We have a very tight schedule but we try to deliver our best as
long as we are strong enough for this. I am also very happy for Floortje because she did a great job right in combination with such a key game.”
The player that was able to score the most points for the Italian squad was Aneta Havlickova who scored 19 points to keep the pressure on the opponents.
Both the attack as well as the defence of the of the winning squad was far superior than the home team which made all the difference in delivering a winning performance in the match. The home team could not rally themselves together to turn things in their
favour once the guests started playing forcefully which cost the Italians the semi final.
On the other hand, Yamamay has earned itself a ticket into the final of the competition.
