“We knew it was going to be hard – said captain Mario Scappaticcio – Ravenna is a very well-organised team at home. I don’t think we played badly, credit to them who played well, we struggled to face their serve. Still, we remain confident for the coming fixtures”.

“I’m disappointed not so much with the defeat, but more with the result and especially the fourth set which we just did not play – said coach Gatto – Ravenna dominated from the start with its serve, and we never managed to catch up”.
