Another prestigious pre-season victory for Trentino. The 3-0 win over Innsbruck had been encouraging, and the positive signs have been confirmed against Piacenza, beaten 3-1. Trentino proved especially effective in attack with 54% (only 9 mistakes) and it was very consistent on the serve. Szabo stood out with an impressive 29 points (4 aces), while Suxho and Fedrizzi did well too on their debut game.

“Playing against such quality opponent gave us the opportunity to get to know each other better on court and understand what we have to work on – explained coach Serniotti – Beyond the satisfaction of having grabbed the win, this game gave us a lot of ideas for our pre-season program. This was an entertaining game and my team showed good spirit”.
