3-1 winners yesterday in the playoffs quarter-finals game 2, Padova tied the series and will now go back to Modena without fear.         

 “We have defeated a great team – said Brian Cook who was one of the main architects of yesterday’s breakthrough – Modena is one of the strongest teams in the world. We’re obviously thrilled, this was an amazing performance. We can win the next game… Why not? We proved we could play good volleyball and make it hard for anyone. Modena will clearly be favourite but it’s our job to give everything to get the best possible result. The fans have been incredible yesterday, it was great to live these emotions with them”.
