A special day was expected and so it was. A dream start for Lanci and co who managed to beat Padova, something that seemed almost impossible a few minutes before the game. But once the team was sent on court for the tie-break, the arena was electric, filled with fans believing the breakthrough could be achieved. There could not have been a better come-back into the Serie A2.
