Subsequently, Alice wore the jersey of Valsabbina Millenium Brescia for two A2 seasons (in 22/23 along with Jennifer Boldini and Josephine Obossa), reaching the Italian Cup final and coming close to promotion to Serie A1. In the 2024/2025 season she played for Megabox Ondulati Savio Vallefoglia in the A1 Series, consolidating her experience in the top league.
“My first sensations are very positive – said the new butterfly to the official channels of the club , I have already been in Busto Arsizio for a month or so and I am training with a first group of players from the new roster. At the e-work arena we are working well, all in the same direction. I am very happy”.
Torcolacci will reunite with Jennifer Boldini and Josephine Obossa: “Yes, and I am very pleased. Those in Brescia were very good years, I established a beautiful relationship with both of them, and I think it is an added value to have a’friendship even off the field”.
“It would be nice to repeat the incredible journey of last season: I faced UYBA as an opponent and was impressed by the strength and unity of the group: you could feel a perfect feeling between all the players. I am happy to be here, I hope to have more space compared to last season and also to contribute to the creation of the new group: I think it is a fundamental aspect and I judge positively the presence of more experienced players who will surely be able to help the many young ones in the roster” concluded the new Busto Arsizio purchase.
