🎙️ Episode 12: “Ceci Zandalasini: Italy’s Finest Joins the Valkyries”
This episode highlights Cecilia Zandalasini, our incredible Italian player, sporting jersey #24. During this season she stepped away for a few games to return to Europe where she won a bronze medal in Eurobasket with her Italian team. Though she's fought some injuries this season, she was recently reactivated just in time for our last two regular season games. We love her 3 point shot and her plus/minus keeps going up!
Tune in to learn why she's the best. Ti vogliamo bene, Cecilia Zandalasini! 🇮🇹🏀💜
FORZA LE VIOLETTE!!!!
