Medical investigations confirmed the diagnosis: for our Beatrice Stroscio, unfortunately, a ruptured cruciate ligament in her left knee and the season was over. Now we await the date of the surgery while the team and the club gather around the athlete, awaiting his return to the field.
“A delicate moment for our season. I would like to congratulate the girls who are demonstrating maturity and responsibility; those who were growing, in basketball terms, have now been called upon to give quality minutes precisely to make up for the absence of some teammates. They were all good and were ready” says coach Mara Buzzanca.
Meanwhile, the recovery continues, without surprises, of Chiara Consolini due to a muscle tear and of Marika Labanca due to a now absorbed knee edema
“Sunday at 12, a rather unusual time, we take to the pitch at the Pala Minardi, against Trieste, a team that plays a difficult type of basketball; they prefer one-on-one to try to create advantageous situations. They have an aggressive and suffocating defense, especially on the ball; – concludes coach Buzzanca – in the first round in Trieste we lost a lot of balls. Bearing this in mind, we must try to manage the balls as best as we can and bring out everything we have to take the two points up for grabs. The girls they are ready to give it their all on the pitch but I invite our fans to be present, we all need their warmth; this is an important moment for our sporting season. The girls have shown that they are there, that they want to be there and they deserve to be supported by our fans.”
