Pisa, 8 January 2024 – First two very important points in front of their fans, for the Pisa Women’s Basketballin the opening match of the new year and in the second round, in the championship of C series. Against a team directly competing in the standings, which had clearly prevailed in the first leg, coach Stefano Zari’s girls, despite lacking Mbeng and Nannini, overwhelmed their opponents before half-time, only to suffer their return in the second half, but without ever lose clarity. THE NEWS – In an emergency under the scoreboards, due to the simultaneous absence of Mbeng and Nannini, replaced by very young players, including the fifteen-year-old Ghimenti, the red and whites started very well, with a high pace and great defensive intensity, taking the lead after the first quarter ( 14-8) and increasing the double-digit lead at halftime (32-19). However, the match was not over, because the guests increased the defensive pressure in the second half, forcing the hosts to a meager haul of only 3 points in 10 minutes: Garruto and her teammates did not give up in defense, however, conceding only 5 points to the Florentines (35-24). In the final minutes Florence increases the pressure again and finds two triples of hope, but the red and whites don’t lose their heads and win their first home victory. VALUES – In an evening with many absences below, the excellent defensive performance of the very young girl should be noted Groaningthe captain’s positive return to the ranks Beccari and the double digit of Garruto.
NEXT COMMITMENT – President Laura Guerrini’s team will be on stage next Sunday Swine, against a quintet with which, in past seasons, they fought for promotion for a long time, prevailing in the last two, in which Benedettini and his teammates had access to the play-off for Serie B, precisely to the detriment of the Lucca team. The team coached by Francesca Salvioni, with Bartoli averaging 30 points, is currently fourth and the red and whites will have to try to overturn the first leg defeat, to still have some residual hope of accessing the play-offs.
