Veronese won 55-64 in the first leg, former player Sofia Vespignani, 5 seasons for her in the blue and white:
«Today’s is a real match that matters – comments Ecodem coach, Nicola Soave – Excellent opportunity to prepare for the play offs, to make up for the home defeat against Umbertide two weeks ago and above all to try to get the second place finish».
A second place which would give you the home advantage in the first and possible second round of the play-offs:
«Yes, but now we only have to think about Treviso, a team that comes from three defeats in the last 4 games but that comes to us to win and to look for the best possible position in the playoff grid».
For Alpo Basket, physical problems for Ilaria Moriconi and Anna Turel, while in the Treviso home the season is over for Karolina Pobozy who broke the cruciate ligament in her knee:
«Yes, they lost one of the best players in the championship and suffered a few too many defeats. Despite this, they are still in the running for fourth place and have players of the caliber of Vespignani, D’Angelo, Perini, Da Pozzo and Egwoh who need no introduction.”
