No redemption after the bad defeat in Macerata. No revenge after the defeat suffered in the first leg: Hermaea Olbia lost badly in Mondovì, starting the second round of the women's A2 volleyball in the worst possible way.
And it also loses a position in the rankings. PalaManera's 3-0 stops Dino Guadalupi's team at 10 points in Group B, which allows Picco Lecco, who scored 3-1 against Costa Volpino, to overcome them, taking a +2 lead over the Gallura team, who slipped to the fourth-last place that is worth the playoffs for salvation. The success against league leaders Montecchio seemed like a turning point, but for the white and blues, who have never won away from home so far, everything (or almost everything) needs to be done again.
The scores of yesterday's match (25-15, 25-15, 25-13) certify the "no afternoon" of Adriano and his teammates, incapable of reacting in the presence of a good but not irresistible team, and evidently a mea culpa in the week it will have to be done, because San Giovanni in Marignano, opponents on Sunday at the GeoPalace, are better equipped than Mondovì, as confirmed by the third place they occupy in the standings with 22 points and 3 adrift from the top. And we will therefore need the best Hermaea.
