also beats Virtus Terni and remains up there

The team of coach Pasqualini shows up at the Palarivo in full force, the hosts with the short bench for the absence of the last hour of Spaccia (influenced) and the long Taddeucci present, but not in the best condition, limit the rotations of coach Felicetti, but do not decrease the team strength of the assisiate team that was decisive for the final success in the rest of the match.

Strong part, the Terni area with canestri of Rinaldi and of the long Frolov (two above all) difficult to mark but Assisi is there and responds blow by blow with all the players in the field, the score returns in a draw (11-12 at 8 ') and from there the game takes a difficult turn to cancel with a fluctuating score that does not allow the two teams to make the decisive escape.

The guest push, which never exceeds 5 points of advantage is always rebutted by Felicetti's men, always ready to close in defense on the Terni forward and to propose himself in attack with Caputo, Ciancabilla, Marini, all three in double figures. Adrenaline in rivers that drives Felicetti's team to come out into the open and Alija and his companions not to give up. The third quarter ends with the triple of Marini for the 46-47 and in fact puts the race on a level of perfect equality, fertile ground for strong men. Well, Virtus tries with the triple of Arra and a basket of Picchiarata, answers Stefano Papa surgical and a slash of Marini from the distance he bringsno the Assisi ahead by 1 (53-52) to 33 ’.

Still missing a life for the siren, both formations are looking for a breakthrough. Ciancabilla, Orazi, Landrini (triple) and Mazzotti find 60 equal with Frolov, for the Ternans, still a protagonist, but from then on it will be a battle. A basket by Marini and Caputo's triple find the 65-61 at 37 ', but not enough, yet Rinaldi shortens from the distance, but it will be the last basket of the uPasqualini's men, induced to error by the youngsters of Felicetti who in 120 ″ ’solve the match. Arra, Alija and exhausted Rinaldi find the iron, two baskets of Ciancabilla, undisturbed under the basket and the free throws of Caputo and Mazzotti at the end, close the meeting. Assisi wins a difficult racechile, which showed an important team cohesion and individuality defined in a right mix of promising young and highly experienced seniors.
