A battle lasting over two and a half hours, in a match that seemed, at least twice, irretrievably lost. But this Gabbiano Mantova literally never dies, it collects, falls, gets up and reacts, knocking out its opponent for the ninth consecutive time, in this, its first Serie A3 Credem Banca championship.

Volleyball Motta also had to succumb to the biancazzurri, victorious 3-2 and now second in the standings, just one point behind Personal Time San Donà di Piave who, however, still have to rest. Nothing to be done for the green and whites, who entered this season with, legitimate, ambitions of high ranking. Faced with the attacks of Novello (39 points for him yesterday), the solidity of Yordanov and Scaltriti, the desire to sacrifice themselves of Miselli and Tauletta, the Venetians are forced to capitulate. But the whole group is present to respond: Parolari enters and scores 12 points, Depalma doesn’t feel the slightest pressure and places two blocks and an ace in as many decisive moments, Zanini proves solid in attack and in blocking, without forgetting another Ferrari convalescent but called into action in key moments of the match.
