Itas Trentino is through to the 2025 CEV Cup quarterfinals after a commanding 3-0 victory over CSM Corona Brasov at the ilT Quotidiano Arena. With a solid team performance and high-efficiency attack (71%), the Italian side secured their place among Europe’s top eight clubs.
Already leading from their 3-1 win in the first leg, Trentino needed just two set victories to advance—but they didn’t stop there. Determined to bounce back from their recent Coppa Italia setback, Lavia (17 points), Gabi Garcia (14 points, 86% attack efficiency), and Michieletto (12 points) led the charge for a dominant clean sweep.
