Matera had the better 3-1 but Castellana played face to face for at least two sets. In the end, the experience and enthusiasm of the Matera team made the difference in what was a tight encounter.

“Matera is an excellent team – said spiker Libraro – Shame we could not beat this strong squad and keep our winning streak going. Despite the loss, we can keep our heads high because we gave it a good fight. We have to keep going like that, now we’ll have ten days to work on our game before the next encounter at home against Monza”.
