Modena wins Del Monte® Supercoppa 2018: Itas Trentino fights until the fifth set

The dream of winning another trophy three years and a half later since the last one faded only on the finish line. Yesterday night Itas Trentino had to surrender to Azimut Leo Shoes Modena in the 2018 Del Monte® Supercoppa in Pala Barton in Perugia, after a hard-fought match that lasted five sets. Modena played better in the first part, with Zaytsev and Christenson leading the team to 2-0 sets; Trento came back in the second half to 2-2 thanks to Lisinac, Russell and Kovacevic ‘s performances. In the fifth set Modena proved to have more left than Trento for the final sprint and made the difference. The team coached by Lorenzetti played nonetheless positively throughout the whole weekend, especially against Perugia on Saturday, and considering the few trainings the players sustained together.
