Italy: Modena destroy Lube in advance of Round 14

2023 started also in Italy, with first game of the year valid as advance of Round 14 or, if you prefer, Round 3 of second leg.

Valsa Group Modena make their 5,000 fans happy at their sold-out PalaPanini by dominating an unrecognizable Cucine Lube Civitanova in big match valid also as a direct clash for second place in the standings, ended 3-0 (25:16, 25:21, 25:19).
It was a truly unrecognizable Lube in the true sense of the word.
The victory of Andrea Giani’s players was absolutely clear and achieved mostly thanks to Frenchman Earvin Ngapeth who ended the game as top scorer with 12 points and Serb Dragan Stanković, who also contributed with four winning blocks.
Modena interrupted the streak of five victories in a row in the regular season of the titleholders, extending their own run to five consecutive victories.

Moreover, at the end of the direct clash between the two formations leveled in second place in the standings prior to the match, Modena detached Lube by three points with both having a 9-5 record!
Cuban Marlon Yant scored 10 points on the losing side.
