221 points were needed in the cup tie against BCC Castellana Grotte in order to make history with a qualification into the Serie A2 semi-finals. Last season, Civita had crashed out of the cup at the quarter-final stage, at the tie-break. It looked as tough this season with Castellana having lost only once all season. Besides, some players were injured or not hundred percent fit, which made the task even harder.

« We knew we were up against a top level team – said coach Spanakis – We just tried to play our game. In the end, we obtained a good result, which makes the history of the club, but besides the result, I really liked the character of the boys. I am proud to be their coach ».
