A superb first set on the serve gave the illusion Potenza could come back with a win but then Santa Croce stepped up with some superb serves of their own and won it in four sets. Among the main players there was middle blocker Lorenzo Codarin, who scored 11 points (89% in attack, 2 blocks).
« I did not expect to start off that well but at the same time I did not think our opponents could come back from nowhere like that. All of a sudden they made it very hard for our reception and the game turned around. We should have used the momentum of the first set better. We’ll try to bounce back on Sunday in the Eurosuole Forum against Alessano ».
