Ros Casares won a hard fought game against Rivas Ecópolis to earn the 2012 Euroleague Women’s Championship in Turkey.
The first three quarters were extremely close and well fought out by both teams. However, during the beginning of the fourth quarter, the power, experience and great play by Ros Casares proved to be too much for Rivas Ecópolis.
