The aim, that has always been achieved during the 10 participation of the team to the competition, was got once more thanks to a good ability at every fundamentals, a match of high concentration and attention to the particulars since the very beginning of the play. Nobroski wasn’t able to respond to such a good attack (58% for gialloblù), perfect serves ( 7 ace) and a very good job in defence; the opponent team only had a good moment during the second set, but then Trentino definitely led the play.
