But the Orobiche did not get discouraged and slowly regained certainty, which was fundamental to get the better of them in the very tight finals that decided the second and third fraction 25-23 and then 26-24. Decisive were the 15 team walls but above all the performance of the two powerhouses under the orders of coach Parisi: Manfredini, more and more the jewel of the league with 16 points and 69% from the field, and Strubbe, MVP with 10 points including 5 walls.
