Fourth consecutive defeats for Castellana Grotte, which did not manage to build on a positive first set win and even failed to convert four points to get into the tie-break against Modena. Too kind for the opponents who were happy to take the three-points.

Flavio Gulinelli (coach. BCC NEP): “We got off to a good start and played good volleyball. Shame we lost it like that, because the end of the fourth set was a bit of a lottery and we could have got to the fifth set. We’re alternating excellent volleyball with other moments in which we’re less brilliant. We have a new team of young players too, we have to take one step at a time”.
