L'U17 Excellence ofAllianz Derthona also wins the direct clash with GGS Basketball Project in the penultimate round, she remains undefeated and with one round to spare she wins the Group A of first Piedmontese phase. To the PalaCamagna the second in the standings kept pace with the undefeated league leaders for a half, then in the second half the home team's Bianconeri went wild as a team under the guidance of the trio made up of Werther Bellinaso, Gabriele Fonio Fracchia and Andrea Bresciani and the seventh victory came with a round +20.
