In the city of opera, Castellana expected its first triumph but instead came a fifth consecutive defeat against Verona. A lackluster attack as well as the many mistakes prevented Castellana to get points against a team of its level.
“I expected a different attitude form us – said libero Paparoni – We struggled in every fundamental in the first two sets, we did well to get back in it in the third but we started making mistakes again in the fourth”.
