In round 8, Graziosi’s men surrendered in four sets but no without giving it a good fight against Monza. Outside hitter Padura Diaz finished top scorer with 28 points, while the blocking was key for the team coached by Vacondio, they tallied 14.

“We need games, we couldn’t find our rhythm at the start – said middle blocker Matteo Zamagni – But then we stepped up a gear and proved we could give a game to a strong and ambitious team like Monza”.
