Potenza Picena goes back home from Avellino with a 3-2 upset of the recent cup winners in their first home game after the cup triumph. The hosts literally gave two sets away before getting back in it, but they could not complete the come-back. Totire’s boys lacked energy and did not seem to be able to react in the tough moments of the game. Beyond the lack of legs and intensity in the first two sets, the hosts could have done with a few blocks more as Della Corte was in great form (top scorer with 32 points). Defeated already in the last game against Reggio, Atripalda will try to get back on track when they meet Molfetta in the next encounter. The fans celebrated the cup victory but the coach warned “It’s time to look ahead”.
