After previously losing two teams to Great Britain (49:77, 63:75), the white and red teams had to win in their first meeting to increase their chance of promotion. And they did. Our team was leading a 33:25 break, which was the biggest contribution Marici Castanic. VBW Basketball player Arki scored 15 points within 20 minutes, and after switching she added another 8 points, which is the most effective in our team.
