After starting their campaign with a road win over Il Bisonte Firenze last weekend, Chieri produced an even more impactful result in the last match of the day on Sunday, taking down title favorites Milano in a five-set (36-34, 19-25, 25-23, 16-25, 15-12) battle in front of their home fans.

One of their offseason additions, Hungarian opposite Anett Németh had a brilliant performance, topping all scorers with 29 points (26 kills, two aces, one block). World champion outside hitter Stella Nervini also played a major role in the result, registering 20 points, all in kills.

“We worked so hard for this,” Németh celebrated. “We managed to play a great game last week in Firenze, and today we did it again. We’re very happy.”

Star opposite Paola Egonu produced 24 points (23 kills, one ace) for Milano, ten more than Serbian middle blocker Hena Kurtagić.

Defending champions Conegliano have the same five points in the standings as Chieri after they counted on 26 points (20 kills, three blocks, three aces) from Swedish opposite Isabelle Haak to sweep (25-18, 25-16, 26-24) Honda Cuneo Granda Volley on Sunday in their first home match of the season.

Scandicci and Novara at the top
