Italian League Round 18

Torino opened the round with an 88-64 win over Cagliari as Yvonne Anderson and Jenna Smith teamed up to fend off Nikolina Milic.  Camille Little led Ragusa to a 63-46 win over Umbertide.  The big clash of the weekend saw Venezia edge Schio 53-51 to stay close to the top teams in the standings.  Antiesha Brown and key midseason signing Emily Correal led Sesto San Giovanni to an 80-60 win over Reshanda Gray and Battipaglia, but they still sit in last place.  Jelena Ivezic and Orvieto beat Parma 73-63 as they still have a reasonable chance of fighting for a playoff place.  Marcella Filippi and San Martino continue to separate themselves from the bottom portion of the standings after an 84-52 win over Vigarano.  A rare Monday game had Lucca keep their lead in the standings after a 70-57 win over Napoli as they were further strengthened by the return of Maria Laterza from injury.
