A2 F – Sport Center Parma pays the price of nervousness against Volturno S.C.

In the direct match, the team from Parma did not capitalize on a good second half and gave way to the home team, who won 19-15.

Parma, May 4, 2025 – In the 6th round of the second half of the Women's Serie A2 water polo league, Sport Center Parma was defeated in Santa Maria Capua Vetere, after a game played with ups and downs against Volturno S.C. After a fairly balanced first half, the team coached by Natalia Kutuzova showed solidity in the second part, taking the lead in the score. However, in the third period, the game became tense: the Parma team clearly felt it, losing clarity and playing the last 5 minutes with a numerical disadvantage, giving way to the opponents. Volturno S.C. took advantage of Sport Center's moment of difficulty by imposing their game and closing the match with a victory of 19-15.

"This direct clash – comments Kutuzova – puts us in difficulty and forces us to play everything in the last game in front of our home crowd."

On Sunday, May 11, at 2:30 PM, Sport Center Parma will return to the pool for the last round of the second half, hosting Pallanuoto Tolentino at Sport Center "Ercole Negri": a place in the playoffs is at stake.
