The great wait is now coming to an end. At 20.30 on Wednesday 18 January, Monge-Gerbaudo Savigliano will take the field to respond to what is probably the most important appointment in its fifty-year history. In fact, the blue-and-whites will be on stage at the PalaVolley S. Maria, home of Abba Pineto, to play in the quarter-finals of the Serie A3 Del Monte Coppa Italia, a goal never achieved by the Savigliano partnership and which in itself represents a great success.

The opponent. Opposite, the boys trained by coach Lorenzo Simeon will find the second strength of the White Group of the Serie A3 Credem Banca, however considered by almost all insiders as the great favorite for the final victory of the group. The Teramos, in fact, pay for a start of 2023 below expectations, marked by two consecutive defeats, which allowed Fano to overtake them in the standings: in San Donà di Piave, first, and in Macerata, in the last round of the championship. Net of the recent drop, there are many individuals of absolute value on the roster available to coach Tomasello, who not surprisingly excels in almost all performance rankings: first overall for points and winning serve per set, he is also among the best in almost all other offensive fundamentals. Among the strengths, obviously, the opposite Jacob Link, fourth best scorer per set in the entire category and third in the White Group.
