In the heat of the derby between Pallacanestro Orvieto and Esseti Ternana Basket, Orvieto achieved a victory that was not without obstacles, overcoming Terni in an intense match which saw the opponents reopen the match at the end. With key players like Stella, Cavalloro and Russo returning to the team, Orvieto started the match wanting to dominate, but encountered some initial difficulties. Despite a fluid offensive game, the baskets struggled to arrive and Terni was able to take advantage of the opportunity to gain an initial advantage.
It was thanks to Cavalloro’s play, with two consecutive triples, that Orvieto finally broke the deadlock. However, the offensive difficulties persisted and Terni managed to close the first quarter with a plus of two. The second quarter saw a continuation of the battle on the pitch, with Terni having the advantage under the basket and Orvieto struggling to score, finding itself eight points behind. But thanks to the efforts of Polegri, Antonini and Graziani, Orvieto managed to reduce the gap and reach the break with a delay of only four points.
The third quarter marked a turning point in the match: Orvieto showed a solid defense, taking advantage of the counterattacks and forcing Terni to struggle to score. Cavalloro remained a point of reference in attack, supported by Marcante and Stella. Despite the apparent control of the game, at the beginning of the last quarter, three consecutive fouls by captain Marcante forced him to the bench with four fouls, giving confidence to Terni who began to come back. However, a triple from Russo gave Orvieto some breathing room, although Terni managed to equalize the score with less than three minutes left. In this crucial moment, Cavalloro emerged as the key player for Orvieto, finding a crucial triple that put the team back in the lead, followed by a winning play by Stella assisted by Marcante, which finally closed the game.
This victory was fundamental for the morale of Orvieto, which faced a difficult period due to absences. It was a team victory, with all players contributing to the success. Special thanks were also given to the under 19 Mocetti, who despite his commitments with the under 19 team of the week, demonstrated his attachment to the shirt by accompanying the team and was managed so as not to tire him. Now, after two weeks of rest for the Easter break, Orvieto is preparing to return to the field against Ellera, bringing with it the confidence deriving from this important victory in the derby.
