Itas Trentino immediately scores in the 2022 Play Offs

Itas Trentino starts with the right foot in the Play Off Scudetto. Confirming its favorable tradition, which has seen it wining sixteen of the nineteen games in its season opening at the post regular season stage, this evening the team Gialloblù won 3-0 over Gas Sales Bluenergy Piacenza in game 1 of the quarterfinals.
The home court factor resisted, as has it been the case for the past thirteen years, allowing Lorenzetti's team to take an immediate 1-0 lead in the series; an advantage that will now allow the team to have two chances to qualify for the Semifinals. The first is next Sunday in Emilia.
Trentino Volley will arrive with a convincing performance today on its shoulders, in which service (12 aces against 15 errors) and offense (61% team share) made the difference, especially from the second set, when the Gialloblù took the reins of the game firmly in their hands and did not let go until the end of the match. In the first set, however, the fight was very close; the home team had the merit of coming back from 21-23 and turning it into 27-25 especially thanks to a wild Alessandro Michieletto. The young left-handed talent did everything well, as perfectly illustrated by the attack percentage (67%), the two winning blocks and, above all, the five point hits, always made in the important moments. Together with him, Pinali's performance was also very good (13 winning balls, with 4 blocks and 2 ace, as well as 58% at the net) and the presence of Kaziyski, Podrascanin and Lisinac was constant.
