A controlled hit by Bishop left Puorto Fuori to penetrate our defense but was unsuccessful with a massive stuff block. Clever tactics by Puorto Fuori saw their hitters using our blocks to gain points. 14 spiking kills by the AUS team put the pressure on the opposition however we were unable to get a strong hold on the set, going down 20-25.

AUS started slowly and were points down. With a serving error by the opposition, Australia were given the opportunity to catch up. However, a communication breakdown gave the opposition room to establish a strong lead. Team AUS fought back thanks to the consistent serve of Cory, but were still not able to close the point difference. The final set score of 17-25 was in Puorto Fuori’s favour.
