Ortona versus Potenza is a classic of pre-season. This time, Partenio and co had to fight back from 2-0 down to obtain a draw. Too many mistakes were made on the serve, but a good reception, a large dose of character and a superb Ippolito allowed the guests to get back in it.
“I am even more convinced we’re on the right track after this game – said spiker Andrea Ippolito who finished top scorer with 26 points – This draw is testimony of the character of this group. It was not easy to get back from 2-0 down against a quality team like Ortona. We have to say ‘Mea culpa’ for the too many serves missed, we have not been irresistible on the block-dig area either, but we finished the encounter dominating in every area of the game”.
