Dinamo Women's best first half was not enough to defeat the Italian champions. Schio defends in the second half as in the Euroleague and conquers PalaSerradimigni: 78-86 at the end. To understand the difference in intensity, just look at Hollingshead's performance: 27 points with 11/12 shooting in the first half, only 5 points after the break.
First half of the highest level. Despite the aggressive defenses, a lot is scored: Hollingshead 13 points of agility and technique, on the other hand Reisingerova makes her size count when Kaczmarczyk is on the bench with two fouls: the score is 32-31.
In the second quarter Schio goes up to +5, but Hollinghshead returns and promotes a 10-0 break, also favored by the 3-2 zone: 42-37 at 14' and the American is already at 20. The advantage rises to + 8 with yet another bomb from Hollingshead. Schio relies on center Reisingerova to not lose contact: 54-50 at the break and Hollingshead scored exactly half of the spoils, 27 points with 11/12 shooting.
Upon returning after the break, the Italian champions use their muscles in defense and in attack they are led by Parks and Keys (who cancels Hollingshead): 60-67 at 27.' The away score extends to 15-0 and Dinamo ends up -11 in the 28th minute. Carangelo reacts with two entries: 64-71.
However, their teammates lost confidence in attack: in the last half Restivo's team was left without a goal for 4 and a half minutes (-13) before Raca's bomb. With the double play, something improved in attack but now Schio has got his hands on the match, even if the irreducible Carangelo, who finishes with 20 points.
