Spar Citylift Girona 72-54 Avenidas
Girona made history on a special day such as Sant Jordi where the culture is to celebrate with a rose and a book, however today a Liga Femenina Cup was raised. This was the first championship for the Spar Citylift Girona whom have been getting closer each year to become champions and on this special day they are now claimed champions after thrashing Avenidas 72-54. Spar Girona used all of their weapons both outside and inside to attack Avenidas who could not counter attack the momentum that Girona held during the game.
Spar Girona’s Ifunanya Debbie Ibekwe was named the championships MVP and scored a game high 22 points and 10 rebounds. Ex-Girona player and star Marta Xargay scored a team high 13 points but it was not enough to hold her ex-team back from becoming the champions.
