Good crowd for the first of two home friendlies. Coach Monti gave court time to each of his players as Piacenza had the better of Ravenna 3-1. Piacenza registered 12 aces (5 for Ravenna), 13 blocks (vs 6) 53% in reception and 61% in attack (vs 51%). Vettori was crucial as he scored 24 points with 3 aces and 2 blocks. Simon and Kaliberda added 12 apiece. Ravenna’s best weapons were Cebulj (19 points) and Klapwijk (18).
“The only negative note of this game was the little injury picked up by Marra, he hurt his back and won’t be hundred percent in the next few days – explained coach Monti – As for the rest, it was all positive. The team is getting better little by little. In the future we’ll have to get rid of the 2-3 mistakes in a row we do sometimes. But tonight I really liked the block-dig area. I am satisfied with the work we’re doing”.
