Michele Totire’s boys bend Corigliano’s resistance with a beautiful 3-1 getting the 3 points that put them at the top of the standings, it could not have been a better start.

After Milano’s great debut, Prisma repeats itself at home: the match at the top with Corigliano ends with a beautiful 3-1 for Taranto.

After a nervous first set Taranto shows its class: their blocks stop Biribanti and Kovacevic and always disturbs the calabresi attack.
Rak and Vulin’s fast balls guarantee important points, Castellano, Patriarca and especially great Vissotto’s attacks give elegance and a concrete game to Prisma: The result shows it and brings them to the top of Serie A1.

Formations – same as in Milano: Nuti setter, Vissotto diagonal, Rak and Vulin middle blockers, Patriarca and Castellano spikers, Latelli libero.
Giuliani cannot count on Maric, with the flu.
Same line up as the one that beated Sisley Treviso for him too: Corvetta setter, Birbanti.diagonal, Ravellino and Padroscanin middle blockers, Kovacevic and gallotta spikers, Giovi Libero.

Dressing rooms – Coach Michele Totire is happy at the end of the match: “We went on court tense and we suffered a series of serves in the first set from Biribanti and Kovacevic that brought Corigliano ahead. I even shouted during time out which is not me but given the results I must say it was worth it.

We grew during the match and became more constat at blocking: the final result was the consequence of the concentration we had in the following three sets. I did not expect 6 points after 2 rounds.”
