MARMI LANZA VERONA – ARAN CUCINE ABRUZZO PINETO 3-0 (25-18, 25-12, 25-18) –
MARMI LANZA VERONA: Latelli, Groppi, Sottile 2, Della Lunga 10, Lasko 12, Kovar 2, Curti, Holt 9, Galabinov, Colaci (L), Kromm 11, Howard 5. DNP Peslac. Coach. Bagnoli.

Verona got rid of Pineto in just over an hour of play in front of 3000 fans. Howard MVP.
Daniele Sottile (Marmi Lanza Verona): “It could have been a tricky game, but in reality it went all for the best and our mission to get the three points was accomplished in the best possible way. Tonight again, the combination block-dig was our main weapon”.
Carlo Gonella (Aran Cucine Abruzzo Pineto) “We have problems in the line up which influences both games and training. The only important thing now is to keep a good spirit despite the results and keep giving hundred percent”.
The league leaders left Taranto no chance. It lined up its best six and won it without any trouble in a Pala Mazzola gym that registered its record of the season with 2500 fans.
Paolo Cozzi (Prisma Taranto): “We all knew how strong is Trento but I am angry because at the end of the game I had the bitter sensation that we could have done more. We failed to limit them at the net, our cover was not focused and the counter remains our Achilles”.
Andrea Bari (Itas Diatec Trentino): “We really wanted to win this game to forget about the last two defeats. We were focused and determined. We haven’t made many mistakes and we managed to beat a team with a big fighting spirit. We were afraid of tiredness because it’s tough to play every three days. We are always under pressure and sometimes, because of the trips, it’s tough to find our the rhythm. Our target is to win every trophy. Taranto is a good team: they have good players and have what it takes to get to the playoffs”.
RPA-LUIGIBACCHI.IT PERUGIA – BRE BANCA LANNUTTI CUNEO 1-3 (26-24, 19-25, 21-25, 22-25) – RPA-LUIGIBACCHI.IT PERUGIA: Hubner 5, Savani 13, Bucaioni, Cernic 14, Nemec, Botti, Ogurcak, Sintini 2, Pippi (L), Stokr 23, Bovolenta 8. DNP Lo Bianco, Fanuli. Coach. Di Pinto.

A good reaction meant Perugia took the first set but then Cuneo took charge thanks to some good blocking and serving. This is Perugia’s seventh consecutive loss.
Cristian Savani (RPA-LuigiBacchi.it Perugia): “We knew it was going to be a very difficult game, but we reacted and improved, that’s what we wanted. We played with fighting spirit and will to do well, which was not the case in recent encounters”.
Alberto Giuliani (Bre Banca Lannutti Cuneo): “It was a hard fought game today again, like when we first met and won at the tie-break. Only the second set was not close. We fought hard and what I liked about my team is the ability to handle things and step up whenever required”.
COPRATLANTIDE PIACENZA – YOGA FORLì 3-1 (25-17, 25-21, 21-25, 25-16) – COPRATLANTIDE PIACENZA: Rak 10, Meoni, Marshall 22, Grassano, Boninfante, Sequeira, Zlatanov 14, Bravo 17, Rinaldi (L), Oivanen, Bjelica 10. DNP Mazza, Urnaut. Coach. Lorenzetti.

Piacenza moves up to third place in the table thanks to its 3-1 victory over Forli. Bravo was key, consistent during the whole game, doing a good job both in attack and reception.
Paolo Bravo (CoprAtlantide Piacenza): “I’m satisfied with my performance, but even more satisfied with the performance of the team. I’m improving together with the lads, we are all making an effort. Now we have to work hard to be ready for the next league game”.
Piero Molducci (Yoga Forli): “We give our all right till the end, they are very strong. I’m disappointed with the second set, we were 16-13 up and lost it on Meoni’s run of serves. It’s obvious that they are technically a lot better but if we had made less mistakes we might have been able to push the game further”.
ANDREOLI LATINA – ACQUA PARADISO MONZA 0-3 (22-25, 22-25, 21-25) – ANDREOLI LATINA: Van Den Dries 5, Gitto 2, Giovi (L), Saitta 1, Snippe 1, Nikic 8, Fabroni 1, Geric 5, Vujevic 15, Spairani 1, Giombini 7.

Berruto. ‘
Latina’s positive run was stopped by Monza, which won in straight sets. Only the first set was tight as Gavotto showed the way to go for the guests.
Bram Ven Den Dries (Andreoili Latina): “I’m happy because I had the opportunity to play. I think that If we had played up to our level, we could have snatched something out of it. You can’t afford to relax one minute in the Italian A1”.
Mauro Berruto (Acqua Paradiso Monza): “We are very inconsistent away from home, and that’s how we began this game. We got off to a poor start but then we limited our mistakes and had a solid performance. Gavotto was perfect for two and a half set, but the others played well too”.

Modena won the 97th edition of the Italian classic against Treviso. It was a great game, played at a very high level and with a playoff intensity. Thrilling game from start to finish for the 5000 fans at the PalaPanini. Esko MVP.
Silvano Prandi (Trenkwalder Modena): “Yes, I really enjoyed myself. I have to congratulate all my boys: they gave 101%, they played with great heart”.
Roberto Piazza (Sisley Treviso): “We played a good first set, but then I didn’t feel the same ‘buzz’ we had at the beginning, and to win against certain teams on certain courts like in Modena, the ‘buzz’ should always be at its maximum”.
