Cuneo had the better of Verona 3-1 away and took revenge on the loss suffered earlier this season in its home debut. Giuliani’s boys made no less than 20 blocks, 9 of which came from Fortunato who scored also two aces. The block-dig combination is once again Cuneo’s main weapon. Not a good day on court for Verona but over 2000 fans supported the Mtoto Mzuri project in Tanzania, where all the takings will go”. MVP: Francesco Fortunato.


 


Dore Della Lunga (Marmi Lanza Verona): “We played well during the first part of the game, then they got better while we faded. Even if that was probably a tough one to win, we could still have tried to snatch a point to move up the table”.


 


Alberto  Giuliani (Bre Banca Lannutti Cuneo): “Blocks and dig went very well tonight, we gathered three important points despite the fact that we are not at our best form right now, this is positive. We are patient, we believe in the block-dig combination and this way we don’t have to force the issue unnecessarily”.
