Dreams of vengeance crashed against Club Italia’s solid wall and superb serves. This turned out to be an incredible encounter that ended with a five-set victory for Totire’s men. Potenza had half its roster weakened by the flu, it was also without Andrea Ippolito and Federico Moretti not ready yet to play more than the two sets he took part in. In the tie-break, the visitors were led by their two top scorers, Argento and Zonca, who combined for 52 points.
Middle blocker Lorenzo Codarin analysed the game: “Club Italia is a good team that does not make many mistakes. We gave it a fight until the end in spite of our tricky situation, having trained with only seven players yesterday. I am disappointed, but I am convinced we will bounce back”.
