On the other side, on the other hand, the outstanding performance, from the offensive point of view, of Paola Egonu, who finished the match as top scorer with 21 points to her credit, was not enough. Nika Daalderop scored 7, Myriam Sylla 6 and Anna Danesi 5. For the Consortium team there will be an opportunity, however, to play for third place in the 'finalina' against Praia Clube.
