The surprise in the Easter egg for Tofoli’s men is a historical third place in the Serie A2. The two-point victory in the derby against Civita Castellana was enough to clinch it. Indeed, the two teams became tied at 49 points but Tuscania had the better result in this particular fixture. Thanks to an outstanding performance (26 points), Mrdak reached the 500 points in the Serie A. Captain Ottaviani found its rhythm when it mattered most, in the tiebreak, with a run of serves that Civita Castellana could not deal with. Some say that Civita Castellana lost on purpose in order to meet Reggio Emilia in the quarter-finals rather than Siena, but these are just “bar talks”. Civita Castellana is a serious club that would never do such thing. On the contrary, it’s been a derby played with maximum intensity. Tuscania ends this regular season with 18 wins and 8 losses. The opening game of the quarter-final Series will be on Sunday in Montefiascone against Siena.
