2019 CEV Cup, Trentino Itas victorious in Switzerland: 3-0 against Lausanne UC

Trentino Itas starts off with the right foot the 2019 CEV Cup. In their season debut in the european competition, second most important after the Champions League, Yellow-blues won the away match of the round of thirty-two defeating 3-0 Lausanne UC. Giannelli led his teammates in a smooth match without much trouble at the University Sports Hall in Lausanne; the match saw one and only one team dominating the court from beginning to the end. This result contributes significantly to the chances of accessing the next round of the competition, as Trentino Volley now needs to win two sets in the home match at BLM Group Arena on December 6th.
With Grebennikov and Kovacevic precautionarily kept on the bench, De Angelis and Van Garderen (11 points scored, 64% in attack and 2 blocks) played in the starting six, with the team easily keeping the opponent at distance since the very beginning of every set. Thanks to 15 winning blocks (eight only in the first set), Trentino Itas put pressure on the Swiss team with Russell and Lisinac (4 blocks each), as well as Vettori (10 points scored, 62% in two sets) and later Nelli (6 points with 100%).
