He bent against the superior Stripe in SEF and is now called upon to look for an epic upset in the Latvian rematch o Olympic.
The “red and whites” never found a rhythm and finally experienced the heavy defeat with 72-53a result that greatly complicates the case-qualification in this year’s “16” phase Women’s Eurocup.
The visitors were superior throughout the match, building double-digit margins in their favor from the first period (13-24), before leading by as much as +21 (14-35) in the second quarter. The only thing that Olympiacos managed was to get closer to 37-47, in the middle of the third period, but the counterattack was not completed and Riga prevailed with an emphatic 72-53.
Leading for the “red and whites”, who had just 42.6% in two-pointers and 13.3% in three-pointers, were Williams (11p, 5rb), Tobin (10p, 9 rib) and Christinaki (10 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists), while for the winners the standouts were Powder (23pts, 6 rebs), Lambert (13p, 4 rebs, 5 assists) and Yasha (13 points, 4 rebounds).
