And then out on the left side, Alsmaier and Herbert starting ahead of Ishikawa.
Oh wow, that's just massive from Sarah Farr. Well she keeps doing this, this is so powerful.
And it's still going on, Santorelli chatting with Farr. Again, kind of out of system pass,
Navara are trying to look for here to create chances and they do. Excellent finish from Alsmaier
who's had a wonderful season so far. They don't have an out-and-out right side replacement
for Tolok, so Melli tends to do that job as a substitute. Control from Cannelliano
and a first pipe attack from Chuting. She is without doubt back to close to what is
her best for her at the moment. A little short serve from Volos. Tolok entrusted with the shot
again and can be desperate to give Tolok a lot of a lot of ball here, trying to get
the right side into a rhythm. Giving her a high percentage of sets right now.
In turn, Hawke is also being given plenty of ball and any doubt about one-hit wonder is
Expugnato on the other side of the net. Both Libros playing well. Tremendous hit, what a defensive
touch from Bonifacio and the block is good on Chuting, who has to swing again. Oh, one-hander
from Hurbutz right on the head of Camby. Brilliant rally. Both teams there push to the very limit
and Bella Hawke finishes superbly well all the way down the line into deep five. This point lead
preserved by the Panthers. Good read. Oh, it's wonderful from Kirikela.
Well, Camby's trying to use Squaccini a lot in the early phases of this game and Kirikela's
read that lock away from the service line and they're getting good hands on Tolok at the moment.
Gabi blocked again. Good coverage by Volos. She's defending really well at the moment,
and a good hand on that one from Farr and Volos. It's really good volleyball from the
Panthers, just asking Navarra to play the ball again and again. She's got a good front line,
drops it in, Gabi gets there and that's a great finish. That's what you need from your world-class
players. Super pass, super set, super spike and Britt Hurbutz needs to hit an aggressive serve.
Does so. Pass is good. Hawke doesn't make the most of it. Juting goes, oh wow. How incredible
to be able to call on players like that as the backup. Juting finishes the set.
Good hit from Kirikela. Nice defense from Altmaier and Tolok's first swing in the second set is
powerful. She's collided with Gabi at the net. Second ball in a row to Bonifacio, Farr and Gabi
defend her and then a huge block from the biggest block in the league. It's that hybrid serve that
I was talking about from Squaccini. Good defense from Altmaier as well. Tolok gets another swing.
The block is once again well organized and that's great defense from Juting. Gabi switches her
position. Can't put it away. Oh a super defense from Volos and a massive swing from Hawke right
down to the ankles of Tolok. Navara not pressuring her on the service. Defended easily by Hawke.
Gabi goes hard at it. Well defended off the block by Di Nardi but it's a free ball for
the Panthers. Not the best from Kirikela. Just allows the block and defense to organize on Gabi.
And that'll do nicely. Daldurot returns to the bench. Juting back to the court. She'll need to stay
out there for the rest of the set now Juting. It's good work, more patience. Oh it's a good C
from Tolok. That's phenomenal from Di Gennaro. Di Gennaro just played that point a couple of moves
ahead. That's a stunning pickup. Tolok thought she had this point. There's... on two. First time
Kambi has used it in the match. Effective option there. It's a single point. Juting targeted. Easy
pass for her though. Hits it very hard into the chest of Di Nardi and that's some scramble from Navara.
Fabulous and full marks to Kirikela in the middle of all that with the presence of mind still to
run a decoy around the back. Di Nardi has options on the bench if he wants to go there. Just too far.
Nobody's going to... Di Gennaro and now the backup. Libro in the regular shirt's gone. Emilio comes
in. So two passer defenders on the floor at the moment for the Panthers. Gabi thumps it down the
line to beat Kambi. All good from the team in yellow. Gotta be careful Navara that they don't let
Caneliano away too quickly. That's an important finish from Tolok who is the game's leading
scorer at the moment. Just about it all still. It's a must-win set for Navara. If they want to
make the final they're going to have to do it in five. It's not going to be easy.
Ten at the moment. Good serving by Volosh. Tolok rips it. What a shot.
Every so often Tajana Tolok hits one angry and she gets... Ishikawa goes for the serve. Drives Juting
back. Volosh away from the net. Gives it to Gabi. This is some of the best hitting
I've seen from Gabi this season. Tolok as far as Kolota Kambi is concerned is the answer.
Keeps feeding the Russian across the front line. Great pass from Di Gennaro. Over on two from
Volosh. Not her best play. Volosh becomes a middle blocker quite successfully and allows
Kirikela back into position and Kirikela makes a good touch. Coming over for free and couldn't
resist could she? Couldn't resist. Volosh does it second time of asking. Herberts. Oh yes.
Well they've come up with an absolutely brilliant play. Herberts onto the front foot. Bonifaci.
Navara can hold on to their focus and concentration. They can make things difficult.
Tolok needs to finish this. Doesn't get it. Ausmeyer instead. This has got to go to Tolok.
It does. She tips. Di Gennaro defends quite superbly and the tight set. Too tight and Navara
might have blown it. That was such a big point in the context of the match.
Off pace Gabi with the ball behind her shoulder. Couldn't get a full swing on it.
They might get away with it again. Once more heroics from Moggy. Still in play. Over it goes.
Just a little too close to the net but Ausmeyer doesn't put it down.
Oh this is superb from the Panthers. Hawke. Oh. Roofed out of sight. Ball dropping all the time
Composes herself. Hits a good serve. Well passed by Herberts. Has to go to Tolok. Defended. Great
pass. Oh magnificent volleyball from Corneliano. A wonder dig from Hawke and it wasn't just the
fact it was defended. It was the fact it was to book a place in the final. Pass is good. Gabi
gets the return ball and thrashes it off the top of the block and home. 25-21 that is a really
really good performance.
