SuperLega, Itas Trentino still great at the PalaPanini: won in three sets in Modena

The 72nd Derby dell’A22 showed the quality and the consistency of Itas Trentino’s work up until now. The World Champions have won at the PalaPanini of Modena achieving another great result in this regular season that will end next Saturday, thanks to the 3-0 win that stopped the homeowners team Azimut Leo Shoes Modena.
The result allowed Lorenzetti’s team to preserve its second place in the rankings, that will become definitive if it will obtain a win worth three points during the last round against Monza. Trento assured itself a possibility to have its destiny in its hands, thanks to the performance of the high-balls trio (directed by Giannelli) that has always got the point  when needed: 15 points for Kovacevic (mvp with 52% attack efficiency) and 14 per person for Russell (3 aces with 50% attack efficiency) and for Vettori (3 blocks and 2 aces). With such incisiveness in the attacking phase, Modena did not manage to keep its score close to the opponent’s in the first two sets and even when it managed, like in the middle part of the third set, it had to pay for the mistakes it made afterwards, mistakes that allowed the guest to end the match in just three sets and achieve three fundamental points.
