Yesterday, Potenza Picena registered a four-set victory in Grottazzolina (Moretti had 23 points), while it will take on the giants of Civitanova tomorrow at 8.30pm in Castelferretti in the Morsucci memorial. All the takings will be given to the Ylenia Morsucci association. Marco Pierotti and Oreste Cavuto, who helped Italy finish fifth in the World Championships Under 21 in Mexico, should be ready to be in contention but might not play.

“Ippolito and Moretti played together for the first time against Grottazzolina, our game improved and it was confirmed by this come-back win – explained sport director Paolo Salvucci – There is still a lot to work on but the early signs are positive, we will be ready for the start of the championship”.
