On Tuesday, the Red Raiders volleyball team played its first game of the Italian tour, with an open scrimmage against the Italian National Team “B”. After a sightseeing tour in the morning, the athletes reached the Centro Pavesi, one of the official training centers of the Italian Volleyball Federation.

The game was expected to be the most difficult one of the tour, as the Italian Team “B” is composed by professional athletes who mainly spent the last season in the Serie A, the highest level in Italy. This national team recently earned the silver medal in the World Championship, so playing against some top 30 athletes of the country was a hard battle.
