From the regular season to the Coppa Italia quarterfinals, all the way to the playoffs. Three different environments, the same opponent: ErmGroup Altotevere San Giustino. A team that Belluno Volley will face five times this season at the net. After the two regular season matches and the single-elimination matchup to advance to the Coppa Italia Final Four, the Rhinos will also face the Umbrians in a double-header that will put a spot in the playoff finals at stake. The match begins on Saturday, April 25th (6:00 PM) with the first leg scheduled in San Giustino. Then, on May 1st (5:30 PM), the showdown at the VHV Arena.
SAGA – More than a duel, the one with coach Bartolini’s starting six has become a saga. It began on October 19th at the Lambioi sports hall: the scene of the face-off that kicked off the Credem Banca Serie A3 championship. But the official debut quickly took on the form of a thrilling, almost playoff-like match. The Belluno team managed to prevail in four sets, at the end of a true volleyball battle, decided by a great blocking performance (12 returns) and 35 points from the spikers: Berger (19) and Corrado (16).
LINEAR – Paradoxically, for the Rhinos, the two away matches played in the space of eleven days had a more linear development: the first on January 3rd. The second on the 14th. From the championship to the Italian Cup. Different competitions, same outcome: a three-set victory for Vincenzo Mastrangelo’s team, led by an impeccable Enrico Basso in the championship (10 of 11 on offense for a sensational 91 percent) and by Stefano Giannotti in the Italian Cup (24 points, enriched by no less than four blocks).
