Superlega, Itas Trentino maintains its leading position thanks to the clear 3-0 in Vibo

The race of Itas Trentino in SuperLega Credem Banca 2018/19 know no bounds, not even this time, in the region of Calabria. Tonight in Vibo Valentia indeed, during their longest away match of the regular season, our World Champions have achieved another round success 3-0 defeating Tonno Callipo. These three points, gained at PalaValentia, allow Lorenzetti’s team to safeguard its first ranking place from the attempt of Perugia that, for a while, last Saturday night had surpassed Trento due to the 3-1 scored in Civitanova. The twentieth victory in a row is resulted from an increasingly better performance of our players, who did well by tackling the initial outburst of the hosting team (mainly of Skrimov and Al Hachdadi) and then by gradually taking the lead with an extremely sharp service (10 aces and only 13 mistakes) and a game system which was really well managed in the net area by Giannelli. Russell and Candellaro (80% in attack), but also Kovacevic (64%) and mvp Lisinac (3 blocks, 2 aces and 50% in the first set) have soon become a nightmare for the opponents, who turned out to play foul (25 mistakes among spikes and services) and to struggle in front of the champions.
Here the scoreboard of the seventeenth day’s match in regular season of Superlega Credem Banca 2018/19, played tonight at the PalaValentia in Vibo Valentia.
