Sassari remains on the starting blocks and with -21 in the first quarter compromises the game. In Switzerland Friborg wins easily and wins 100-81. It is difficult to understand if it was the excitement of the first match in the group stage of the women's Eurocup, or if there really is all this technical difference. It is certain that from the second quarter onwards the two teams played evenly, but by now the omelette was done. Of note is the double double of the American Shepard: 28 points and 14 rebounds.
Shock begins in the first quarter: Friborg has double intensity and at 9 'Sassari is already at -21: 30-9. Only the long American Shepard takes it on an equal footing.
In the second half Restivo's team reacts and goes up to -12 with a triple from Lucas, in the evening however disastrous shooting: 2/14 at rest. The formidable Giraud scores 6 points in a row (reaches 21 halfway through the race) and lets the Swiss take off again. At rest he is 53-35, despite the good performance of Shepard who already has 14 points and 8 rebounds, assisted by Arioli, 7 points.
Upon returning to the field Lucas warmed his hand and the Italians are more present in attack, but Krosely also scores from three and then on the counterattack and from the line retakes the maximum advantage: 63-40 in the 25th minute.
Sassari tries to climb one last time with three free throws from Orazzo and a bomb from Lucas (83-69 at 32 ') against the external Giroud and the long Fogg give consistency to the advantage.
