Low attacking returns hamper CSM

CSM’s six-game winning streak on home court came to a grounding halt on Saturday. Although they led for 40 minutes, seven technical mistakes and a 50 per cent attacking efficiency were CSM’s undoing, as Adrian Vasile could not use Cristina Neagu, who was still nursing a knee ligament strain.
