The 3-2 result for Trento does not matter much. What matters is that Piacenza travelled to Trento and made it very hard for Lorenzetti’s men after defeating the Italian champions of Modena last week. Giuliani’s men seemed at a level above compared to last week. Hernandez was top scorer again with 28 points (6 aces).
