Skyy Howard and Pleun Van Der Pijl are the last two pieces inserted in the mosaic of Giovanni Caprara’s new Uyba. In recent days the sporting director Carmelo Borruto has scored two “coups”. The latest purchase, in chronological order, was that of the American Howard, born in Dallas on 25 June 2001. Central, 191 centimetres, Skyy comes from CSO Voluntari, the Romanian team led last year by Caprara to win the title national. “I can’t wait to get to Busto – says Skyy – and to play for Uyba. I’ve heard that everything is magnificent: the team, the organization and the city. I want to enjoy this experience. I can’t wait to meet and get to know my teammates. I want to create a “connection” on and off the pitch.” The Dutchman Pleun Van Der Pijl is used to flying very high and can play indifferently in the role of opposite or spiker, from a height of 196 centimetres, and who arrives in Busto after having won the championship and the super cup, wearing the shirt of Friso Sneek, the team with which she also became champion of the Dutch Eredivisie last year. The two butterflies will make their debut, like Caprara, tonight at 6.45pm at the E-Work Arena in a friendly match against the Americans Minnesota University.
