Padova is the winter champ. In the big game of the day in which first place was at stake, Baldovin’s men had the better at the tie-break.
“”We have been nervous in various spells of the game and that tension cost us dear in the fourth set – explained the Padova head coach Valerio Baldovin – We certainly could have done better, but once again we did a good job of coming out on top against a strong team like Monza. It’s nice to finish the first half of season in first place, but we have a run of tough games ahead, the next one being agains an Ortona team on the up”.
