From Luxembourg to Moncalieri with great enthusiasm and renewed energy. The Dinamo girls did not return to the island but directly stopped in Piedmont for the opening of the second championship in the women's top flight. Also this year all the matches of the first day will be played in a single venue. The Sassari team, which appears at home, will face Limonta Costa Masnaga on Saturday in Moncalieri (3.45 pm).
The coach Antonello Restivo still has to give up the two long; Slovenian Tina Trebec, injured, and American Jessica Shepard, expected next week. "I'm happy because this team, still without two players, has proven to be compact, a solid group with attributes, who want to work hard and fight."
And it will be a battle against Costa Masnaga, who are aiming for the Scudetto playoffs. And he ranks three long foreigners all over one meter and ninety in height: the Luxembourgish Jablonowski and the American Vaughn and Jackson. But the number one danger remains the talented seventeen-year-old Matilde Villa, play-guard who last season averaged 15 points and scored 36 points against Dinamo. And that the enfant prodige of Italian basketball is on the rise he also confirmed it a few days ago in the winning friendly against Lucca (71-67) where he scored 19 points and fanned 7 assists.
