The will to battle and the come-back was not enough to avoid defeat at home against Ortona. Potenza were 7-5 up in the tie-break but could not hang on to this lead. The disappointment of the loss increased with the news that Santa Croce lost in Tuscania. There’s two games to go and it’s getting very tough. In spite of having Argenta top scorer with 27 points, Potenza made too many mistakes in attack. Holt and Buchegger combined for 51 points for the visitors. They were unstoppable on the serve and in the clutch time. Next for Visentin and co is a match to win at all cost at home against Club Italia.
