Finals Game 1
Top seed Venezia earned the right to host the first two games of the finals on Wednesday and Friday. Even though they could not flip the tiebreaker for homecourt advantage, Schio was in many respects considered the favorite and they started the game strong. The home team recovered though and cut the margin by halftime, continuing to control the game with Jessica Shepard crashing the boards on their way to a 77-65 win and getting the chance to welcome a player back from an injury that had kept her out all season.
