Regular Season Round 11: Venezia - Ragusa 51-56
Date: December 7, 2014
The game between Top Four teams took place in Venezia. 3rd placed host Venezia (7-4) lost to leader Ragusa (11-0) 56-51. It ended at the same time the three-game winning streak of Venezia. It looked good early as Venezia took an 11-point lead at the end of first quarter. But then Ragusa took control winning two of next three quarters and eventually winning the game that evening by 5 points. They dominated on the defensive end, holding Venezia to just 7 points in fourth quarter. Ragusa made 16-of-19 charity shots (84.2 percent) during the game. They also forced 19 Venezia turnovers and outrebounded them 44-30 including 33 on the defensive glass. It was an exceptional evening for American Plenette Pierson (186-81, college: Texas Tech) who led the winners with a double-double by scoring 14 points and 10 rebounds. Her fellow American import power forward Ashley Walker (187-87, college: California, agency: Merit Management Group) accounted for 9 points and 13 rebounds for the winning side. Slovakian center Marie Ruzickova (189-86, agency: LBM Management) came up with a double-double by scoring 15 points and 13 rebounds and American guard Shannon McCallum (177-87, college: Charlotte) added 13 points respectively for Venezia in the defeat. Venezia's coach Andrea Liberalotto tested ten players in this game, but that didn't help. Ragusa have an impressive series of eleven victories in a row. They maintain first place with 11-0 record. Venezia at the other side dropped to the fourth position with four games lost. They share it with San Martino. Ragusa will play against La Spezia (#12) at home in the next round which should be an easy win for them. Venezia will play against Battipaglia (#9) and hopes to get back on the winning track.
