Macerata wins in treviso
Macerata intends on staying where it is now, top of the league. It proved it taking the big game of the day at Treviso. It was all very tight in the first two sets, a few flash of individual brilliance making the difference for Macerata. The team of new coach pupo Dall’Olio, tried to ignite a comeback but the guest did well to contain them and hand them their 5th home defeat in 6 played in their Palaverde gym.
Trentino responded to Macerata with a 3-0 victory over Montichiari. Meanwhile, Marco Bonitta celebrated his first win in the Men’s Serie A1 as Martina Franca coach, beating Modena thanks to a strong and effective serve.
Piacenza went back to winning ways in Pineto with a 3-1 victory. Marshall led his team with 25 points. The only tie-break of the day occurred in Vibo Valentia where the hosts had the better of Verona, showing solid nerves in the clutch time.

Marco Bonitta (Stamplast Martina Franca): “The boys have been exceptional. I’ll remember this victory for the rest fo my life because it’s the first as a coach of an A1 team in the men’s league, and to make it better against Modena. We built our success on the serve. I’m satisfied because the guys have already understood my philosophie of the game after hardly a week of training”.
Angel Dennis (Trenkwalder Modena): “Our situation is getting more and more difficult. We came in Martina Franca to win and we believed in our chances, all the more so after taking the first set, but a series of mistakes changed the game. Murilo’s absence was surely felt but that was not the cause of the defeat”.

Paolo Montagnani (Framasil Pineto): “Piacenza proved it is an excellent team. At the start, they surprised us, but we reacted well. Zlatanov had a great performance. Still, we’re disappointed with the 4th set, in which we did not convert the decisive plays. We’ll go in Verona to battle”.
Angelo Lorenzetti (Copra Nordmeccanica Piacenza): “We needed this win. We played to perfection in the first set, while Pineto played better in the third. We’re always the same team, it’s not that we were poor before and that all of a sudden we became a great team”.

Leandro Vissotto (Itas Diatec Trentino): “We had a good game, although we can obviously improve. It was important to take the three points to get back on track straight away after the defeat in Cuneo. I personally did not start brightly this game, but coming out in the second set did me a lot of good. Poi, I came back on more aggressive and in the end I think I did OK”.
Mauro Gavotto (Acqua Paradiso Gabeca Montichiari): “Trento showed its worth tonight, even though they might not have played at their best. We did not manage to take this great opportunity, it seemed we had the hand brake on. We should have dared more, especially at the end of sets, but I have to admit that it’s not always easy against team of that level”.
