He was the team’s driving force during the most crucial moments of last Sunday’s match in San Donà di Piave, when the home team led by 2 sets to 1 and 10-7 in the fourth. From that point on, ErmGroup Altotevere emerged victorious, turning the tide with a 3-2 final victory. Simone Marzolla struck again, scoring 27 points (with a 60% attack rate) and undoubtedly responsible for securing the two points that secured third place in the White Group of the Credem Banca Serie A3 championship with one round to spare, even though it was the last one played for the white and blues. The Venetian opposite hitter, despite having more appearances and playing time than his other teammates, finished the regular season with a total of 315 points, equivalent to an average of 15.75 per game, and is Altotevere’s top scorer, ahead of Matteo Alpini with 272, Augusto Quarta with 207, Niccolò Cappelletti with 188, Mirco Compagnoni with 149, and Gioele Favaro with 74. “We really needed this win to maintain third place and thus gain a better position in the playoffs,” says Marzolla, “after a somewhat unexpected second half for us: the achievement is undoubtedly pleasing. When we were on the ropes in the match in San Donà di Piave, that is, in the fourth set, we pulled together and managed to take home the victory.
