Loreto played face to face with the league leaders, Città di Castello, but registered another defeat.

“We fought hard – said setter Manuele Marchiani – Unfortunately we lost the first and third set because we always start off poorly, and then it’s hard to cut the deficit. When we manage to stay close at the beginning we usually keep up until the end and have a chance to take the set. We really need points now, we have three crucial games before the halfway point to the season”.
