Padova had the better start, leading one set to nil, but Monza fought back and won the friendly played in Porto Viro. Satisfying performance from outside hitter Stefano Giannotti, who finished top scorer with 24 points and 55% in attack (3 blocks and 3 aces). The US middle blocker Aguillard had a good game too with 12 points and 77% in attack in three sets played.
