Pavia loses the Argentine pivot Corral due to distortion but is not discouraged Other music compared to the Super Cup, the championship starts well
PAVIA
Riso Scotti without the Argentine Diego Corral beat Varese at the debut of the fifth season in cadet. The pivot in the last training session got the right collateral ligament sprain and yesterday he was on the bench with crutches. But his absence did not prevent Pavia from starting on the right foot.
Team in confidence
The two points count and Scotti leveled up with respect to friendlies and Supercoppa, showed her best face and finished the match with applause. Coach Di Bella’s players had some problems only in the first quarter, when the guests leaning on the young Virginio pierced a timid defense. It took Riso Scotti 10 ‘to find the right malice in defense and in attack to hit the right countermeasures. The definitive thrust is in the third period, when Simoncelli, Sgobba and D’Alessandro light up and continue in his sumptuous game. The guests are overwhelmed by the energy of the Pavia, who run double, score in every way, in transition, on hand, from three after a good circulation of the ball, in dunk. The attack also gives confidence to the defense, which keeps the Varese team at 13 points in the last period. Calzavara’s four-point action at the beginning of the last period allows you to play on velvet up to the siren.

In the final seconds Simoncelli fails to put the ball on the pitch in regulation time, but Varese does not take advantage of the opportunity (14 – 19, 10 ‘).
