Another good test for Piacenza who had the better of the Serie A2 side of Cantù 3-0. Libero Manìa ended the game with 80% in reception, while Patriarca (14), Luburic (12) and Zlatanov (11) were the main weapons in attack. Piacenza did well at the net too, it registered a total of 10 blocks as Tencati and Patriarca combined for seven of them.

“There is a lot of work to be done – said assistant coach Camperi – We stayed focused, we’re trying to make progress. We tried some new things but we still have to find our rhythm. But overall I am satisfied with the performance. If I have to find something to criticise, I’d say when we lowered our guards at 19-11 in the first set. On the other hand, I really liked the end of the third set”.
