A2 Women's Basketball. Halley Thunder assaults Bolzano

Halley Thunder returns to play at home on the fifth day of the return leg of the women's A2 championship. Today, at 18.30:57 p.m., Alperia Bolzano, ninth in the standings and coming off a home misstep against Civitanova (64-24), arrives at the PalaChemiba in Cerreto. The team from Matelica, on the other hand, is third in the group, with 55 points, and is coming off an away win on the Vicenza field (63-66). In the first leg, coach Domenico Sorgentone's team was defeated in Alto Adige (61-30), so now they want to redeem that misstep in front of their home crowd. And with a win they would consolidate their position in the top half of the standings. The top situation is now as follows: Udine 26 points, Roseto 24, Matelica, Mantova and Treviso XNUMX. "Bolzano – says the Halley Thunder coach – is the most physical and tall team in the championship, with a quintet that has grown by one 'spot' compared to the first leg in which we find Licia Schwienbacher in the role of 'one', Giulia Manzotti as 'two', Karolina Stefanczyk 'three', Aiste Vaitekunaite 'four' and Alessia Egwoh 'five'. It is a complete team, which in attack has the ability to play and read, defensively it knows how to be competitively aggressive especially with the guards. Therefore we will have to try to make the most of our superior agility and speed. The game will revolve around this aspect. And also on another very important aspect, that is, we will have to become 'more capable' of experiencing the games at home, given that lately it has been more difficult for us than in away: we must gain confidence starting from the idea that we are at home and that our field is our friend". The match will be refereed by Irene Frossolini from Grosseto and Michele Forte from Siena. The match will be broadcast live on the Halley Thunder YouTube channel.
