Sunday 7 November 2021. In the championship debut at Moratello, the Under 19 Silver of INVICTUS Academy win the victory against San Mamolo for 64-70. Thus they come out of the difficulties of a cold and treacherous evening and find strength in the group.
Immediately in the lead at the start of the race reaching the +8, the "Oranges" however, they are unable to stretch. They go below 1 at the beginning of the second quarter, but they don't fit. They immediately regain the advantage, they struggle but do not give up and reach the interval on the +9. In the third quarter they go as far as +12, but the opponents re-enter until -6, and even -4 at the beginning of the last period.
The answer is worth the +13, but not just yet: double -3 del San Mamolo in the last two minutes. We need yet another team response, that comes once more: the decisive basket is of Faith, around which teammates have gathered. Something that is worth much more than a win, for the group of Alberto Marculissi.
Una vittoria dedicata alla mamma di Federico Gieri, scomparsa ieri, con un abbraccio fortissimo al nostro #34 ed al papà Massimiliano, presente in tribuna. L'esempio di Wedding ring, che ha chiesto di giocare, è la chiave della vittoria ottenuta. Tutta la Società si stringe a lui ed al papà con grandissimo affetto.
