Sirio Salerno ’92 wins the first leg final of the national women’s B playoffs and prepares for the return match at Modena scheduled for next Sunday. ’83-66 ended, an important advantage for the Salerno team who secured promotion. Still 40 minutes to play: we will start from +17 for the bells (difference in baskets in case of equal victories), whoever manages to close the series in their favor will be promoted to A2. “A first part of the work is done. I’m very satisfied because it was so hot and it wasn’t easy. We joined forces and got a +17 but based on what we showed we have what it takes to win away too. We saw union, cohesion but also a lot of haste. There are still things to improve but there is a week left to put them right and prepare to go to Modena at our best and play our last match.
This group deserves to end with a victory, we will do everything,” said coach Visnjic at the end of the match.
