The Sassari team unlocks in the league and wins their first success at PalaSerradimigni: 84-61 against Empoli after a match practically without history. The aggressive approach in defense and the supremacy in the colored area of the American Shepard dig the furrow already after 9 '(+14). Dinamo are also good at keeping the intensity high in the two halves, denying the guests any chance to reopen the game.

The first quarter of the Sassari team is excellent: the defense bites both to man and with the 3-2 zone, Shepard is the master of the area (even with the three-meter shot) and Moroni from three and from the foul line leads to the dubbing, 28-14 at 9 '. Empoli limits the passive only thanks to the 4/7 from three.

In the second quarter the guests reply with the zone but never manage to go below the double digit disadvantage. The American Shepard is unstoppable and when she also scores a triple (22 points and 10 rebounds in the middle of the game) the gap is a chasm: 48-28 for Sassari.

In the third quarter Lucas also starts shooting and scoring and together with Shepard they bring the gap to +28.

Dinamo concedes a little something in the last quarter (75-57 in the 36th minute) but the match has already been over for a while.
