After the signing of Caterina Mattera, Velcofin Interlocks Vicenza announces that it has reached an agreement with the second player who will join the roster for the 2024-25 season. This is the expert pivot wing Alessandra Tava, who drops down after two seasons in the top flight with Geas Sesto San Giovanni. Born in 1991, Tava immediately adds centimeters in the long red and white department.
Born in Voghera on 8 September 1991, 183 centimeters tall, Tava’s career is long and full of satisfactions. After making his debut in Viterbo, the winger’s first important experiences were with La Spezia and Orvieto, between A2 and A1, years in which he also earned his only call-up with the senior national team (a friendly match in 2013). From 2016 onwards she wore the jersey of Progresso Bologna, which went bankrupt in 2019, but whose nucleus of coaches and players was then absorbed by the newly formed Virtus Bologna Femminile, admitted directly to A1, with which the class of 1991 then played in the top flight . With the “black Vs”, three intense years of top flight, before arriving in Sesto San Giovanni with two seasons under his belt. In her list of achievements, three A2 championships, an A2 Italian Cup, an Under 16 championship with the national team jersey and two medals (one gold and one bronze) at the 3vs3 world championships. She is a player with polite hands both inside and outside the arc, gifted at rebounding when called upon to play under the boards. Tava returns to the downstairs category ready to prove her worth.
“I’m happy to be in Vicenza” are Tava’s first declarations in red and white “From the first chats, the impression I got from coach Zara is that he wants to build an important group and that the club is serious and prepared for the championship of A2. I was quickly convinced and I want us to have fun, have a good championship. I come from a couple of seasons in which my commitment on the parquet was limited, so I also want to play and make an important contribution to the team.” Mattera and Tava are therefore the first players to wear the Velcofin Interlocks jersey for the 2024-25 season, but there will be other news as early as next week. Waiting to hear from you, welcome Alessandra!
