The friendly game against Piacenza ended with a 3-1 victory after almost an hour and a half of play. Except for the first set, the game has been very tight. No bitterness therefore as Piacenza needed to insert Kaliberda and Le Roux who made their debut having arrived the day before. Still without Zlatanov, who will ba available from next week, Piacenza did well at the net with 14 blocks (6 for Monza) and on the serve with 6 aces (10 for Monza).
