The second set followed a similar pattern. Rossano maintained their intensity, showcasing a well-rounded game in all facets – blocking, defense, and attack. The team’s seamless rotations and depth of roster allowed coach Zangaro to effectively manage player fatigue without sacrificing quality. The 25-10 scoreline reflected not only technical superiority but similarly a clear mental edge.
Siderno attempted to mount a response in the third set, demonstrating a renewed sense of pride and managing to extend some rallies. Though, Rossano’s resilience proved too strong. Maintaining their focus, they capitalized on key moments, closing out the set 25-17 and sealing the match. The double-header was never truly in doubt, a testament to Rossano’s overall strength.
