In the Fontana trophy, Latina showed great character forcing the Italian champions of Cuneo to battle for five set. And it could have gone even better for the guests as they managed to build a two-set lead thanks to an excellent dig and counter. In the third Fortunato came on for Mastrangelo, and the game turned around.
“It was an important test for us – said coach Medei – We started off well before fading in the long run against one of the best teams in the world. We are better in terms of technique compared to lasts eason and we have shown our warrior attitude today”.
