The return round starts in the best way for Rana Verona, who closes the calendar year with another victory, the fourth in a row which delivers another important injection of confidence. A few days after the big coup in Civitanova, the Scala team found further confirmation against a healthy Gioiella Prisma Taranto, collecting the full spoils and rising to 17 points in the standings. Serving was a factor, with Dzavoronok once again on top with 5 aces. A haul that earned him his second MVP award in a row. The award for best scorer, however, was taken by Amin, capable of scoring 19 points. The contribution of the blocking central defenders was invaluable, with Cortesia and Mosca who scored 8. Now there is little time to recover, because on the horizon are the quarter-finals of the Del Monte Coppa Italia away to Trento, scheduled for January 3rd.
