The void left by Savani can only be filled by a special team display. This was the message that the Macerata fans sent with a banner as the setter injured his ankle. This bad news did not reduce the determination of the Italian champs, who left the until then unbeaten Latina only one set.
MVP: Stankovic
Alberto Giuliani (coach Cucine Lube Banca Marche Macerata): “We played two sets to near perfection, and we could even have won it 3-0 if we had taken a couple of break opportunities. This is an important win, and the crowd has been as amazing as usual. Would have been a perfect Sunday if it wasn’t for Savani’s injury picked up this morning. This is a huge loss for us, but the message I want to send to everyone is that despite this difficulty our targets remain the same”.
Silvano Prandi (coach Andreoli Latina): “For two whole sets we were just not in it, while from the third on we found confidence and managed to play better and get momentarily back in the game”.

BRE BANCA LANNUTTI CUNEO: Mastrangelo 4, Ngapeth 8, De Pandis (L), Wijsmans 6, Kohut 5, Grbic 2, Della Lunga, Sokolov 17, Abdelaziz 1, Rossi 1. DNP Antonov, Marchisio, Galliani. Coach. Piazza.
Trento defeated Cuneo at home for the 8th time running. Three important points to keep climbing back up the table. Cuneo has not won in the past five years and a half in Trento. MVP: Raphael.
Matey Kaziyski (Itas Diatec Trentino): “Great team effort. We might not have played our best volleyball but we managed to take the punches in and pull together during the tough moments. Difficult to find a fundamental that stood out, we have been balanced in every department today and did brilliantly in dig”.
Tsvetan Sokolov (Bre Banca Lannutti Cuneo): “We have been under constant pressure in every set. It’s been a tough game not only for the team but for me too. If I had personally played better, we might have had a different result. I have been inconsistent and I am sorry this happened precisely in the PalaTrento arena”.
TONNO CALLIPO VIBO VALENTIA – CMC RAVENNA 3-0 (28-26, 25-15, 25-19)

Vibo Valentia swept Ravenna, who struggled after giving it a good fight in the first set. Thanks to this win and the other results, Vibo is rocketed to second place right behind Macerata, a historical day for the club. MVP: Urnaut.
Alessandro Farina (Tonno Callipo Vibo Valentia): “The first set was key, we knew they would be ready right from the start because they needed a good game after a difficult period. We handled things very well from the word ‘go’ and we fought for every point in the first set. After that, things got easier, we loosened up”.
Stefano Mengozzi (CMC Ravenna): “We had been working well this week, we studied especially well their setter and the main spikers, and in the first set we proved we could play face to face. Then, they stepped up a notch in attack and had the better of us”.
SIR SAFETY PERUGIA – ALTOTEVERE SAN GIUSTINO 3-2 (25-20, 19-25, 21-25, 25-17, 15-12) SIR SAFETY PERUGIA: Alletti 11, Van Harskamp 1, Petric 28, Daldello 2, Giovi (L), Tomassetti, Schwarz, Tamburo 14, Vujevic 12, Edgar 1, Semenzato 8. DNP Van Rekom, Pochini. Coach. Kovac.

In a packed arena, Perugia won a thrilling battle in the derby against San Giustino. Perugia had the better start in the tie-break and hanged on till the end, thanks a lot to Van Harskamp who served and attacked well. MVP: Petric.
Aimone Alletti (Sir Safety Perugia): “I am extremely happy! We had a lot of ups and downs, I don’t think we played especially brightly. But in the end we took two crucial points and in such an evening it’s great news”.
Alessio Fiore (Altotevere San Giustino): “I think this was a good game, a never-ending of twist and turns in the score board. A few details made the difference, they have been a little more composed. But we’re getting better, we’re improving game after game. We just need a little more consistency”.
MARMI LANZA VERONA – BCC-NEP CASTELLANA GROTTE 3-1 (25-21, 25-14, 17-25, 25-18) – MARMI LANZA VERONA: Zingel, Rak 9, Kosmina, Ter Horst 24, Gotsev 8, Meoni, Bolla, Pesaresi (L), Gavotto 16, Peacock, Fedrizzi 2, De Marchi 6. DNP Centomo. Coach. Bagnoli.
BCC-NEP CASTELLANA GROTTE: Menzel 1, Ricciardello, Paparoni (L), Falaschi 2, Ferreira 2, Sabbi 18, Ferreira 12, Yosifov 6, Cester 5, Casoli 7, Krumins. DNP Elia, Dolfo. Coach. Gulinelli.
2350 fans well up for it from the first play and Verona registered its first home victory at the expense of Castellana Grotte, stuck with one point in the table. MVP: the Netherlander Ter Horst with 3 blocks, 62% in attack and a total of 24 points.
Ter Horst (Marmi Lanza Verona): “We all wanted to win this game, especially after the match played against Perugia, the whole team pulled together to get this first triumph in front of our fans. Everything went better tonight. We put our foot on the pedal from the start. We faded badly in the third, otherwise we could have made it 3-0. This is the style of play we want to practice”.
Alessandro Paparoni (BCC-NEP Castellana Grotte): “I expected a different attitude from the boys than the one seen in the first two sets. We struggled in every fundamental. We got back in it and played better in the third but that was not enough because we started to make our usual mistakes again. We have entire sets in which we can’t seem to do anything right, reception or passing. These mistakes prevent us from cutting deficits or take the initiatives in a game”.
