Now Ravenna is in the lead 2-0 in the series, needing only one more win to reach the Final Four in Playoff Challenge.

Maurice Torres (Bunge Ravenna): “It was fundamental for us to win Game 2, because it’s never easy to play versus Vibo on their home turf, so would be better to be there on 2-0 lead. In third set I was a bit upset for my game, I was in trouble, and when I stepped back on court, I put all my rage on the chances I had, winning the set. Now we’ll try to win also Game 3, but will not be easy”.

 

Waldo Kantor (Tonno Callipo Calabria Vibo Valentia): “We are a bit in trouble, but despite this, we are trying to put on the court all we have, fighting until the end. We were good in some part of the game, but in this moment Ravenna is better than us, they are in great shape in attack. Too bad for third set, we trailed but in the end we lot the partial. We’ll try to do all we can in Game 3, would be great to stretch the series”.
