Yet another tie-break between Potenza and Padova but this time it was Padova celebrating victory. Graziosi’s boys played superb volleyball for two sets before fading and having to make do with one point. A generous Moretti was top scorer with 31 points but his friend and opponent Rosso was lethal in the clutch time as he tallied 28 points.
“This is a golden points in the race to stay up – said coach Graziosi – But that’s the second defeat in a row, we’re disappointed because we had a two-set lead. We did a great job from the 9 meters in the first sets and in dig. Congratulations to Padova and Rosso, who made the difference in the clutch time”.
