Dinamo Women opened the second half of the Women's A1 season with an away defeat. The Sassari team lost the sprint away to San Martino di Lupari: 68-66.

Carangelo and her teammates also started well, building a lead that they held for most of the match, at least until the 18th minute when they pulled off an 8-0 run that gave the Venetians the lead. The white-and-blues were even 12 points behind, but with a 14-0 run, they managed to play the final minutes point-for-point, though Scott was more focused.

Dinamo Women's top scorer was Treffers with 20 points, followed by Carangelo with 16 and Poindexter with 13.

Coach Paolo Citrini commented: "We definitely need to work on our rebounding game, which we clearly lost today. At the same time, I'm happy with the girls' spirit, who never gave up. We managed to regain momentum in the final minutes, but we were naive in some details. San Martino's victory is deserved, beyond any discussion. We're disappointed about a few fewer free throws: the number of free throw attempts (eight in total, ed.) against such an aggressive defensive team is remarkable . "
