SALERNO – Salerno wins the first leg of the semi-final which is worth the A2. Sisas Pallacanestro Perugia will now be called to ring the bells on Saturday 1 June in the return match scheduled for 7.30 pm at PalaPellini. Salerno, undisputed leaders of the Campania concentration, demonstrated all its strength by closing the first three quarters ahead with Oliveira and Silatsa undisputed star players with 24 and 30 points. Coach Posti’s girls managed to pull out a 14-all tie only in the last quarter. However, enough to continue to believe that the mission is possible. Best scorer in the red and white home was the great former Lucila Cragnolino with her 13 points. “We have to respect them less – underlines coach Posti – in the sense that in the first two quarters we had too much respect and too much fear. Then we started playing and it is from the last two quarters that we have to start again. It’s hard, we’ve seen it, but not It’s impossible. We can get to the final but to do so we need the push of our fans.”
