On the eve of the trip to the Balducci Macerata pitch, Dino Guadalupi had underlined the value of the opponent, comparing it to that of the league leaders Montecchio, defeated at the GeoPalace in the previous round.
But last night, at the Banca Macerata Forum, the Marche team went further, beating the Gallura team, losing 3-0 with scores of 25-16, 25-21, 25-13, in the midweek valid for the 9th day of the A2 women's volleyball . A bad match for Hermaea, who ended the first round of the cadet championship with a heavy defeat, interrupting the positive streak that had allowed them to score points in the previous four matches and climb to 10 points, in sixth place , in Group B.
«The idea was to enter the field without fear: we knew it wouldn't be an easy match, but we made mistakes in receiving and serving, and probably when points were given to us we weren't able to take advantage of them», he explains Virginia Adriano. «We struggled a lot in the sideout, and even the ball change didn't go well. Unfortunately – adds the opposite biancoblù – it is often happening to us that we are not able to replicate the same intensity in matches that we show in training».
As luck would have it, we'll be back on the pitch in a few days. On Sunday, still away, the Olbia team will visit Mondovì fifth in the class (at +4). To try to redeem Macerata's failure and the defeat suffered by the Piedmontese team in the first leg, achieve the first away success of the season and thus inaugurate the second round in the best possible way.
