Novara vs Conegliano | Highlights | Italian Volleyball League Playoffs 2026 | Game 2

Absolutely she was a best middle blocker in the league in her time with Navarro as that one's over pass to put down but and as awful as it sounds I'm sure Navarro understands when. Right now is to play that long game so yes come out with energy and be excited and and play these first few points but can they extend that all throughout the match. Can Eliano go to the middle Navarro a bit one That's back over on one. Alzmaier makes it work this time. Not got a touch yet. Doesn't get one there either. Alzmaier the target. A little bit of hang time from Lina Alzmaier there. Oh it's a lovely tip but the pancake works. Another opportunity though for Can Eliano. Another opportunity for Gabi. 15-8 Can Eliano comfortable in this opening set largely because of situations like that. Gabi too good Navarro. Two players going for the same ball and neither getting them that tells me there's some confusion there. Alzmaier feeds it in. Bit of swing for Mims. Returns on one. On the block. That one-on-one in the middle. Can Eliano showing their championship credentials. Wawash serving beautifully. Now back to the day job of setting. Mims. No real venom in that swing. Plenty in that though. What a rank. Julia Carraro. Come on a setter can be. Takes a breather. Wawash well. I mean it's not for lack of effort from Navarro because that's a great dig. Oh Gabi. They'll put a hole in the floor. Carraro. Oh finally. 23-11. What are we witnessing here from Can Eliano? Nishikawa with the reception. She's going to swing on this. Only as far as Di Gennaro. Becomes the setter. Oh! Hock! Angle on Hock. She would just go the other direction. Set point. 13 set points in fact. First one saved. Good game to win. Do it a double quick time as well. Di Gennaro into Wawash. Hock doesn't finish. Nishikawa. Too easy. When you think that Navarro took the first three points of that opening set as well. It kicked Can Eliano into gear. Carlotta Canby is back on court. She's serving first. In the second set. Gabi receives. Hock swings. Good defensive touch. Again Tolok can't swing. It's almost like giving Can Eliano a free go at it. Because it scrambled over again. Navarro digging in. And digging in once more. Ahlsmeyer. Off the hands. It needed more. Because it got more from Xu Ting. Leonardo just making it impossible for her to score right now. Wawash. Nishikawa. She stayed on for her but. A little touch on that for Wawash again. Just giving her hitters the opportunities to hit. Tolok. Their pace but you almost want to slow the game down on your side. So you can really wrap your head around what's going on. Scorchini. Leonardo. It's a better touch to keep the ball in the air. It's another one of these free ball efforts from Navarro. Options. Gabi. Frustration rather than joy. Hey look maybe it's a Carlotta Canby fan. We're all Carlotta Canby. How many has she received tonight where the ball has been below the plane of the net. Or the tape of the net. And there's been nothing she can do. Yeah. And that's exactly it. I think if you're giving it a bit now. They're starting to play with Conigliano. At least play at that level. Tolok with the serve. Xu Ting. Oh is that dropped in. That's a lovely block from Harkin. Nishikawa. Three points for her. All from attacks. We've got the tools from the service line. But Gabi deals with that well. And the slide attack. Holzmeier. 15-17. Much more of a contest. But still going Conigliano. Or a head on. Oh Bella Harkin. Aiming it a little bit towards Harkin. They're still going to get some frustration for Conigliano. Change in the middle. Indy Baez has come in for Scruccini. That one is whizzed past everybody off Harkin. Nishikawa. 18-20. Navara needs to pick up some break points from Sunwheel. Good touch on that block. Xu Ting's back on court. Xu Ting. What do you think of an ace? They've been sorely lacking. It's a good ball into Mawash though. And a pipe attack. Unstoppable. This time Harkin. Esconia Milo has come on. Alibro by Trey. Just to shore up the passing. That's exactly what she does. Gabi. Oh down the line. A rocket. Block is lined up. Chooses the opposite direction. Tell you who's not finding it fun. Scruccini and Tolok. Here is Tolok though. Off the hands. Nishikawa in a good position. Tolok. Offers up the tip this time. She outsmarts Gabi. Challenge coming. She would have called the coach off. But man Gabi is so good at that. Up to 10 points now. Needed scorer in the game. This. Set point. Oh and it's a soft. They've changed hands. Set number three. Underway. Nishikawa feeds it in. Lovely pass. Massive block. And the cover. Incredible. What a way to start the set. How does this one end? Oh block on Xu Ting. And DiGennaro is there. Xu Ting with the tip. Volleyball all over the place. Tolok to finish the job. Denied. DiGennaro. Ha. Finishes. Oh what a rally. What a start to the set. We are on side out early in this third set. Credit to the fans. They're still creating an amazing atmosphere here. Yes it is. I feel like she's one of those tall attackers. You just throw the ball up in her direction. But Kononata are playing with pace when it comes to her. Another good block touch. Just forces Tolok to play it over the net. Oh I love that. 15-11. Can be. Tips good. But of course DiGennaro is there. Dive in full length. To give Huck the opportunity. That will not take him. But the block good. The reflex is incredible. Some of the cover defense in this league. But you cannot defend that. Third set. Caneliano might have been in two five set arm wrestles in the last seven days. But left something drastic changes. That is not going to be the case here. This is another. Well a Huck. 13-8. Nice touch from Canby. Need to find ways to finish them though. And they do. Nice bit of defense. Watch on the service line. Kononata are going to make her play defense right now for sure. Another lovely swing. 14-19. Little tip. Feels like DiGennaro did that dive for show there. Because she got there in plenty of time. Dinardi on for Leonardi. That's a nice tip. There are touches here. Oh that is. Going to be on about an hour and 15 minutes since this game started. Barely. Canby just bumps it high. Gabby. They can't even finish the overpasses now Navara. They can this time. Second bite. 22-17. Overpass. There's that service pressure. And there is Gabby. 23-17. Oh what a block. Overpass. But not put down yet. But now they'll have a swing for it. Boas sends it to far. Oh. There's a scrambling hand. But Caneliano cruised to victory.
