Itas Diatec Trentino:
Modena, 26 December 2006

Itas Diatec Trentino came out defeated from the PalaPanini in four sets in the 10th round matches of Serie A1 TIM played on Boxing Day.
A result that leaves a bit of bitter taste in the mouth for Radamès Lattari’s team because they got really close to play the tiebreak.
In the first set great start for Modena with a huge performance of Sartoretti that score big serves and attacks. As usual Ricardo sets really well and does not show where the ball is going to go.
Modena closes easilly the first and the second set and the match seems to have a clear end for Modena but Itas Diatec Trentino showed a big reaction in the third set and wins it. Also in the fourth set Itas Diatec seemed to find its best game and for all the first part of the set the team has been ahead in the score. But Modena did not make mistakes and at the end with a Sartoretti block they close the set and the match and went home with the three points.
Trento did get not any point in the standing but the losses of Montichiari (in Cuneo), Latina (in Rome) and Perugia (in Macerata) keep alive the hopes to reach the access to the Italy Cup Final Eight.
