SuperLega, Itas Trentino defeats Lube and fuels the dream of 1st place in the standing

The last home game of the 2024/25 SuperLega Credem Banca regular season fuels the hopes of the Itas Trentino men's team for a first-place finish in the standings. In front of 4,000 spectators at ilT quotidiano Arena (fourth sold-out event of the season), the European Champion team secured their ninth consecutive league victory, defeating Cucine Lube Civitanova 3-1 and jumping to the top of the standings. They now await the result of their direct competitor Perugia's match this weekend (Sunday in Umbria against Monza).
The three points gained in this match keep the yellow-blues in the running for the regular season victory, which will be awarded next Sunday after the final round. Soli's team confirmed their excellent form, starting strong and effectively managing Civitanova's comeback attempt, where Medei applied extensive rotation. Trento was more precise in all fundamentals, with greater contributions in serving (7 aces) and attacking (54%) compared to their rivals.
Rychlicki, with 19 personal points (MVP and top scorer of the match with 54% success rate, two blocks, and two aces), led his teammates towards victory for long stretches, well supported in the second half of the match by a lively Lavia (14 points, including three blocks and one ace), the consistent Michieletto (15 points with 54%), and the positive contribution of Kozamernik (6 out of 7 in quick attacks).
