SuperLega, Itas Trentino overcomes Cisterna (3-0) at the BLM Group Arena

Itas Trentino ended the week after coming back from Brazil with a good performance in Sunday evening's match at the BLM Group Arena against Top Volley Cisterna, valid for the last round of the first half of the 2021/22 SuperLega Credem Banca. At the BLM Group Arena the yellow-blue team scored a 3-0 victory, very similar to the one achieved three days before against Fenerbahce in the Champions League; block, serve and good incisiveness in attack allowed Lorenzetti's team to collect three points, which are worth the mathematical certainty of occupying one of the first four places in the rankings at the end of the first round. The aim will allow Trentino Volley to play in front of its own public in the quarter-final of the 2022 Coppa Italia; to know the opponent, however, they will need to conclude their journey in the ascending phase of the tournament (for which there is still the home match against Milan, postponed today until a later date) and wait until the other twelve teams have done so. The match of tonight was immediately on the desired tracks for the hosts, who literally dominated the first and second set with a particularly clean and effective game in the break phase, supported by a great defensive choral performance. The third set wasn't much different; Cisterna, without Maar, tried to resist, but still surrendered to an unstoppable Lavia (16 points with 70% attack, second consecutive MVP award), Kaziyski (14 points with 71% and 2 aces) and Podrascanin and Michieletto,  always incisive and useful to collect the 14th consecutive victory in the direct confrontation with Top Volley.

Here is the summary of the match valid for the 13th day of the regular season of SuperLega Credem Banca 2021/22 played this afternoon at the BLM Group Arena.
