In the fifth-ranked-challenge Pineto uses the usual court-factor, and the as well usual Shittu to beat a Mater that finds it hard to enter the game, and can just conquer hte third set; here block is working, pass as well, and the 20-25 lets the supporters (more than 100) hope, but Shittu regains immediately the advantage in the 4th set and finds a team ready to follow him.
For the Mater the good is to have kept the 7th ranking position, good for the playoffs.
