Maranesi’s men responded to the defeat conceded three days ago in the playoffs quarter-finals with a perfect game. A 3-0 win that sends the series back to Ortona for the deciding game 3 to be played on Sunday. The serve, which was poor last Sunday, worked on all cylinders this time around, while the players were always ready to block at the net (12 points).
“We put Ortona under pressure, we did not make many mistakes on the serve and the block-dig department worked fine – explained coach Maranesi – We showed character, the team gave it a good fight when it was tight. Now we’ll face another battle, we have the momentum, they have the court advantage, but we’re physically in good shape and that is important too”.
