In the playoff quarter-final game 1, Padova had the better of Sora at home in the first encounter and goes 2-0 up in the series. Indeed, the regulations gives a point advantage to the team best classified during the regular season.
“We knew Sora would have made it very hard for us – said coach Montagnani – But we never gave up and regained control of the game. 18 blocks? Indeed, we have done a good job in block-dig today, but I’m sure we can do a lot better. I am satisfied with De Marchi’s performance, he proved once again how important he was for us despite having the flu in the past few days, Sabo had the flu too. On Wednesday (game 3) we’ll have to play with determination”.
