As if the injury of Nemec was not enough, Città di Castello had to endure the loss of “Santi” Orduna halfway through the first set of a game lost against Santa Croce, which goes 2-0 up in the quarter-final series.

“It’s been two very hard days to take in – said sport director Mauro Alcherigi – Losing both Nemec and Orduna in just 12 hours in just never heard of. The boys did everything they could, and the fans too, as fantastic as ever. Now we’ll focus on Game 3 and see what we can do in Città di Castello”.
