Italy: eighth victory in a row for Lube! Wins also for Modena, Piacenza and Perugia

Italian Superlega CredemBanca Round 9 was completed today, with Cucine Lube Civitanova who continued their terrific winning streak: they collected the eighth victory in a row. The streak of consecutive successes of the titleholders was enriched by the victory in three sets, partially, 25:23, 25:23, 25:15, over Top Volley Cisterna, and Brazilian Ricardo Lucarelli scored 16 points for the winners. The three points earned allowed Lube to reach 28 at the top of the standings, bringing the advantage over Sir Safety Conad Perugia and Itas Trento to +6!

On the other matches, the bad start to the season is definitely behind the dream team of Leo Shoes PerkinElmer Modena which recorded the third win in a row and progressed to sixth place in the standings.
Close the picture Gas Sales Bluenergy Piacenza, who have returned to the winning paths after two defeats in a row by defeating newcomers Gioiella Prisma Taranto to remain fifth-placed.

In the evening Perugia had to work hard to surpass Kioene Padova and earn three points, by which they moved up to the second position in the standings.
Perugia, after a home defeat at tie break against Modena on Wednesday played a match very balanced, also suffering an amazing comeback from the hosts in third set, when from 11-20 they reach 22-23, touching an upset. However Padova surrenders in fourth set, and the guests can celebrate the narrow escape.
But too many errors from the service line for the home team: 28 points only in this element gave to a team that don’t need gifts.
Three players of this match made 16 points: Loeppky and Weber for Padova, Leon (including 4 aces) on the other side of the net, but very good also Sole in attack with 9 points and 80%.
But was Giannelli awarded MVP.
