Since then, Pappas started to enter the equation, who with six points led her to 79-75, with the “yellow-blacks” maintaining and expanding their lead until the end (88-79). It should be noted that the Greek guard had a quarrel with a fan of the team during the first half.
The quarters: 25-25, 40-37, 58-58, 88-79.
