Monza came back from Switzerland with a victory over Lugano as it found a good rhythm of play. Fumagalli’s team took revenge on the first meeting and forced the host to go the distance. Young Puliti was given a start as outside hitter.

“It’s a great result – said sport director Claudio Bonati – We have been working hard physically as well as on our game, and even this morning we had an intense training session and indeed we paid the price at the beginning of the game as we expected. But we’re improving day after day and we’ll be ready to go when the league starts. Very positive performances from the youngsters Mor and Puliti”.
