Novara looked to be in deep trouble there for a moment, but they managed to weather the storm and I guess they'll easily win the 3rd match now. The stats make it seem like a decent team effort too, instead of all Egonu all the time.
Monza vs Busto was really entertaining, although a bit too messy at times with LOTS of (service) errors. Meijners was unstoppable in the first two sets, she was playing like in her glory days, probably better than Sloetjes is doing nowadays, but then she faded away. Herbots stepped up instead, but it wasn't enough. Orro made quite a lot of questionable choices. On the other side, Orthmann had a really good performance and Buijs brought in some much needed firepower, but her reception was awful and almost buried her team. The third match should be exiciting as well. It really can go either way.
Scandicci vs Pomi was a rather unpredictable blowout. It looks like Scandicci's form is rising and I'm really looking forward to their matches against Novara in the semis.
Cuttino is only 22? She looks older than Skorupa.
