Potenza Picena was defeated at home in the opening encounter of the Serie A2 final. Coach Graziosi reacted: “Our opponents have been much stronger than us on the serve and dig. I think the semi-final games against Sora have taken its toll in terms of mental energy. The players looked out of it on court and without energy before the game. Corigliano is a totally different side from the one we knocked out in the cup and beat home in regular season. The addition of Lampariello, who is a good player with charisma, shook things up for them and helped the others to elevate their game and be at their best for the playoffs”.
