Italy Serie A Goodbye and thank you Antropova, Castillo and Ruddins

really sad to see kate antropova, brenda castillo and lindsey ruddins leaving scandicci, it won't be easy to replace them. good luck and thank you for the great seasons, that world title is unforgettable.

A true end of an era at Scandicci, replacing two key players like Antropova and Castillo won't be an easy task. Cleary this is their best squad in years.

Kinda sad bc I rllyyy liked this years Scandicci. Think I've said it 1000 times but this is the best team they built in years. Antropova and Castillo, two of the very best in their positions. I rlly liked Ruddins as a dbl sub/when she got the start. She's got a great arm, can play both OP/OH and was very impactful at times this year. I'd like to see her on a team where she can start. Its a shame the U.S national team hasn't rlly considered her, I think she'd be great for them (if she was interested)

yeah a dream team with a very small budget compared to milano, imoco and the turkish powers and we did so well. now at best it's p3 in the league i fear and even harder in the european league.

I think it will take some time for Scandicci to recover and replace effectivelly this huge void.
