Itas Trentino won the Derby dell’Adige: the 3-0 win against Verona assures the 3rd place

Itas Trentino hold firm to its “playing at home” factor also in the thirty-fifth derby dell’Adige. In the challenge with Calzedonia Verona, that counts as the round of sixteen of SuperLega Credem Banca 2018/19, the team of Trento has kept faith once again with its home rule, following which it had never lost once, not even one set, at the BLM Group Arena.
That is what happened also tonight, with Lisinac (100% efficiency with some quick spikes, three blocks and one ace) who led his teammates to 3-0 win, confirming the price for MVP already obtained against Latina eleven days before. Together with the Serbian middle hitter also the performance of Kovacevic was great (13 points with 58% attack efficiency) as well as the one of Vettori, who is physically improving as his 12 points with 48% efficiency testify. Besides the individual performances, the whole team was convincing, doing well with the blocks (12 points) and the serving. Fundamentals that put the opponents from Verona immediately on a spot and as a consequence made it difficult for them to receive and attack. The three points gained and Civitanova’s victory in Modena, in the challenge between the teams that were ranked above Itas Trentino, assures it the third place with 18 points.
