Third home game against Padova and third 3-0 score. The regular season champs found it difficult for just one set before dominating the rest of the debate. There was a lot of pressure, given that Castellana Grotte seem to have more to lose than the others in these playoffs. Indeed, it has been top since December, won the regular season with three games in hand but will still have to win the playoffs to go up. The cohesion of the group and the efficiency in attack made the difference.
Castellano, BCC-NEP: “It’s only one small step. Now we have to go there and they play very well at home. We haven’t been in situation in which we were forced to get a result for a long time so it was nice to play at this level against a good team”.
