Playoffs, Itas Trentino makes the "ilT quotidiano Arena factor" count

The "ilT Quotidiano Arena Factor" once again makes the difference in Game 3 of the Scudetto Playoff Final of SuperLega Credem Banca 2025, allowing Itas Trentino to regain the lead in the series against Cucine Lube, which will determine the Italian men's volleyball champion. This afternoon at the Fersina venue, where the yellow-blue team remains undefeated in their last nineteen official matches, Trentino secured another commanding 3-0 victory over Civitanova. With this triumph, they not only take the advantage in the series but also move just one step away from claiming the championship. The decisive moment could come as early as next Wednesday at the Eurosuole Forum, should they achieve another win against their red-and-white rivals.
The Trentino team has secured the first of two match points (with the second potentially taking place in Trento on May 11 for Game 5) by showing great intensity and determination from the very first exchanges, immediately steering the match in the desired direction.
A stellar performance from the entire attacking lineup, powered once again by Rychlicki, the undisputed MVP and top scorer with 16 points, a 74% hitting efficiency, and two blocks, allowed the yellow-blue squad to take full control and deliver outstanding numbers: a 61% team success rate (42 out of 69) with zero errors and just four blocks conceded. Cucine Lube attempted to fight back using their own strengths, especially their serve, but only managed to keep up in the first set. After that, the home team took center stage, with Michieletto and Lavia both contributing 12 points each, sending the 4,000 spectators in attendance into a frenzy.

Below is the box score for Game 3 of the SuperLega Credem Banca 2025 Scudetto Playoff Final, played this afternoon at the ilT quotidiano Arena.
