The Ortona squad go into the quarter-final game 2 in Reggio Emilia with a 1-0 lead thanks to a superb performance. They will have a chance to seal the deal but Reggio will certainly not let them run away with it that easily on their own floor.

“This will be a very difficult game – confirmed middle blocker Michele Simoni – We can’t take it lightly, we know it. Reggio is a team that can make it tough for us, and it’s not easy to play in that arena. We’ll need consistency, but if we’re focused we know we can play at a good level and win it”.
