The biggest win in their history came from Pegasos, who beat Panathinaikos 3-2 to climb to seven points in the Volley League.

On the other hand, the Greens lost for the second time in the league (after losing 3-0 to Milos) and at the same time their first tie-break of the season.

Pegasus pushed the greens as hard as he couldconverted from serve, taking advantage of Panathinaikos’ many mistakes and scoring a great win.

Dimitris Andreopoulos’ team probably believed after winning the 1st set that the three points would come easily, but as proved in the matches of this year’s championship, there are no easy “passes” in the category.

And this was proven tonight in Polichni, where with pressure on serve, constant reception and effective counterattack, Pegasos managed to equalize the result twice with sets 1-1 and 2-2, while winning the 3rd set despite a 22 lead: 20 and 24 lost – 23 Panathinaikos turned it around.

The final was also dramatic as Pegasus led 11-9 in the 5th set. Panathinaikos overtook to go 14-13 and 15-14 with Barreto’s error, but Pegasos with a 3-0 run thanks to Barreto, Mavrovouniotis’ defense and Armenakis’ block in the final made a 3-0 run and was 17-15 won by 3:2 sets.
