Another success for Giulia Olandi with the Under 16 National Basketball Team , engaged in the European Championship of the category currently taking place in Miskolc (Hungary). The Azzurrine of Ct Lucchesi, this afternoon, dominated far and wide in the eighth final against Greece, defeated with the final score of 81-43. This is the third victory in four outings for the Azzurrine, who therefore snatch the pass to the quarter finals tomorrow against the winner of Latvia-Belgium.

The best Italian scorer was Marianna Zanetti with 14 points (9 rebounds), with Isabel Hassan (13) and Divine Obaseki (11) also in double figures. Olandi from Alghero, on the other hand, scored 5 points in 11 minutes with 1/2 2-pointers, 0/1 from the arc, 3/4 free throws, 1 rebound and 3 assists in 11 minutes on the parquet.

The balance of the game lasted only a few minutes, because after the initial triple scored by Greece, the Azzurre played a very convincing first quarter, already securing the result halfway through the second period. At the long interval the score was 43-19, then Italy reached +30 with Sablich's triple (56-26): the gap between the two teams continued to widen and so coach Lucchesi was able to expand his rotations, also in view of the upcoming commitments.
