Broni tries the first shot away from the PalaBrera But Lucca is a tough nut to crack

Costruzioni Italia fasting from victories from 28 November Third last place to defend, Faenza and Empoli are in pursuit

WEAPONS

The last game of Costruzioni Italia Broni dates back to last January 2, when the Oltrepadane lost the regional derby against Costa Masnaga at PalaBrera. Exactly 3 weeks have passed since that match and tonight (duo at 19) the red and white team returns to the parquet in the delicate trip to the PalaTagliate in Lucca against Gesam Gas, which so far has collected 18 points and occupies the fifth position in the standings .

a difficult challenge

Definitely a difficult commitment for Broni who must try to defend the third last position from the pursuers, Faenza and Empoli. Even if the Romagna will not be on the field. During the week the two new foreigners arrived: the American center Janae Smith and the Dutch guard-wing Laura Westerik, who trained together with their new companions. We remind you that the regulation requires only three foreigners to be reported. Costruzioni Italia has not won since last November 28th, when the rear of Empoli folded at home. But above all, he has never won away from home this season. Francesca Parmesani on one side and Serena Bona on the other are the ex of the confrontation. The match will be directed by Stefano Ursi from Livorno, Nicola Beneduce from Caserta and Vincenzo Di Martino from Santa Maria La Carità (Naples). Also this 17th day of the women’s top flight is strongly conditioned by postponements. Virtus Bologna-Akronos Moncalieri and Umana Reyer Venezia-Passalacqua Ragusa postponed to a later date, as well as Famila Wuber Schio-E-Work Faenza for the commitment in the Euroleague of the Scledense team against the Polish girls of Ark Gdynia. The match between La Molisana Magnolia Campobasso and Banco di Sardegna Dinamo Sassari has also been postponed to February 2.
