Great test of character from Sisas Pallacanestro Perugia who prevailed 66-78 in Civitanova, inflicting on the Marche team their first home defeat of the season. The first two quarters were very balanced, with the two teams responding blow for blow: we go to half-time with Civitanova ahead by 2 and Posti losing Gambelunghe to injury. At the restart Rudzka and Scarpato take the red and whites by the hand. Down by six in the last two minutes, the blue and whites made a 6-0 break and made it 49-49 but in the final they made a mistake in the last possession with Manganello placing a heavy triple which was worth 49-54 with which the half ended. In the final period, Fausti, best scorer at the end of the match with his 20 points, takes over Pallacanestro Perugia who extends further to the final 66-78 with the signature of Falkowska. Aquinardi and her teammates will now return to the field on Saturday 13 December, at 7pm at PalaPellini, against Lucca in the direct challenge for second place.
