Three very important points, those won away from home D series girls of S2m Volley Vercelli against Vivi Energia Pallavolo Scurato (1 to 3). “After the long Christmas break, concern about the resumption of the championship was high – say the Bicciola managers – but the girls, with a very convincing performance, were good at obtaining full spoils on a pitch that was certainly not easy. Of note is the return to the pitch, at least in the second round after a year’s stop due to the serious knee injury of Chiara Comello who has started to tread the parquet again and the return to the pitch of Martina Atanassi who has replaced the absent Avilia very well.” . Thanks to the points obtained, the Vercelli team consolidated fourth place alone, at twenty-three and moved within six of the play-off zone. On the scoresheet: Ayed, Atanassi, Bertolone, Caricati, Comello, Cornetti, Ippolito, Micillo, Mosso (L1), Vattimo, Vercellone Laura (L2), Vercelli, Viazzo Caterina and Viazzo Francesca.
