PalaGlobo “Luca Polsinelli” saw the comeback of BioSì Indexa Sora at home, but with a clear loss versus Gi Group Monza. Coach Mario Barbiero’s team wasn’t able to win the game in front of the home fans back to Sora after several months of Frosinone. For Miguel Angel Falasca’s team it was a great game for Simon Hirsch, Mvp of the game with 16 points and 78% in attack. Good game also for young ukrainian Oleg Plotnytskyi, 11 points for him, and both middle blockers Rocco Barone and Thomas Beretta, both with 8 points. On the other hand as usual a good game by Dusan Petkovic, 14 points for him, but in general Biosì Indexa Sora wasn’t able to contain the power in attack of Monza, with lack of continuity and suffering in defence.
MVP: Simon Hirsch (Gi Group Monza)
Spettatori: 2.263
Mario Barbiero (BioSì Indexa Sora): “We are disappointed for this loss, debuting in this season on our home turf at PalaGlobo. Monza was in great shape, putting on the ground practically all the attacks. We did what we could, but we weren’t focused as we wanted”.
Miguel Angel Falasca (Gi Group Monza): “Three very important points for us, finally winning on road, until now always struggling. We had a good game in all the aspects, playing with continuity, reaching the result we wanted”.
