Ekipe end Roma’s unbeaten streak on final matchday

March 23, 2023

The regular season in Italy has ended.

With the first phase of the season coming to a climax, Roma so very nearly stayed unbeaten. However, the reigning champions Ekipe sent a very clear message to the Romans: that they are still ready to fight tooth and nail to retain their title. Ekipe took victory in the top of the league derby against Roma 9-8.

The defeat for Roma does not deny them the top spot in the league heading into the play-offs; alongside second placed Plebiscito, the top two teams automatically qualify for the semi-finals. In the quarter-finals, Ekipe will face Bogliasco, while Rapallo will meet Trieste.

Bologna needed a miracle to avoid the drop, but could only fall 11-7 to Trieste.  Elsewhere, Como won the derby lower part against Brizz 6-7, so Brizz will therefore face Florentia in the ‘play-outs’.

2022/23 Woman’s Italian League, Day 18

Ekipe – Roma 9-8 (3-2, 1-2, 2-3, 3-1)

Ekipe emerged victorious in the derby match against Roma with a final score of 9-8. Ekipe took the lead in the first quarter with a goal from Halligan. However, Roma responded with two goals, taking the lead 1-2. But the hosts were determined to make a comeback and managed to score two more goals, taking the lead 3-2 by the end of the quarter. In the second period, Picozzi of Roma scored two goals, bringing the game to a tie at halftime, 4-4. Roma took advantage and scored three goals while only allowing two for Ekipe, bringing the score to 6-7. The fourth and final quarter saw the White Caps of Ekipe make a series with three goals in a row, giving them a significant advantage of 9-7 with only five minutes remaining.
