Once again a tie break win for Wixo LPR Piacenza, this time at PalaBanca versus Tonno Callipo Calabria Vibo Valentia. 2 points gained by Alberto Giuliani’s team in front of the home fans, after trailing down 0-1 in the count of the sets. First set, as usual a slow start for Wixo Lpr, with Vibo always in front, with Piacenza who fought back in the end but with Lorenzo Tubertini’s team winner of the set 25-23. In second finally hammers Simone Parodi and Trevor Clevenot stepped up, putting on the ground a bunch of important balls, driving Piacenza to a 25-20 win in the set grabbing the tie. Also in the third a good offensive performance for Wixo gave the win 25-23 to the Biancorossi, then in fourth set the lack of focus of Piacenza gave to Vibo the chance to comeback in to the game, grabbing the tie break with a big effort on 26-24. In last fifth set Vibo was force to trail under the spikes of Hershko from the bench, who drove Wixo Lpr to the tie break win 15-10. Best scorers of the game Clévenot (24 points, 59% reception, 57% attack) and Parodi (18, 3 aces, 1 block, 61% in attack). On the other hand good game for Antonov (17 points).

MVP: Simone Parodi

Alberto Giuliani (Wixo LPR Piacenza): “I’m a bit disappointed for the fourth set lost on the edge in the extras, with some bad serves. 3 points would be important. Right now we are without opposites. We showed some strength and hustle, we won this game and this is the most important thing”.

Lorenzo Tubertini (Tonno Callipo Calabria Vibo Valentia): “Despite the absence of Fei, we knew it wouldn’t be an easy game. We are still not at our best, we need to improve in defence and down the net. We had a good start, we need to improve but I’m happy of the attitude of the team. We always believed also in the tough moments, let’s re start from here to improve even more”.
