9 points behind at the end of the first quarter (11-20). And in the end, a defeat of 5 points (68-73). Elfic Friborg can regret his bad start to the match Thursday at Saint-Léonard during this first leg counting for the 16th finals of the EuroCup. Opposed to the Poles of Lublin, Romain Gaspoz’s players then showed a much better face: they also won the 2nd and 4th quarters.
Nikitinaite MVP
During this game, the Swiss champions were able to count on Gabby Nikitinaite: the Lithuanian with a British passport scored a whopping 31 points! Add to that 13 rebounds and 5 assists.
On the other hand, the disappointment came from Juliunn Redmond. The new American, who was playing her first match with Elfic, scored only 2 points in 32 minutes of play.
The return match is scheduled for next Thursday in Poland.
