Padova’s last friendly before the SuperLega debut against Latina went to Monza on a 3-1 score. “There were good spells but now we have to find consistency” said coach Baldovin. The good note was that US spiker Brian Cook was back after a few weeks out because of injury. He made his presence felt with 22 points and 56% in attack (2 aces and 2 blocks).
