Forward Audrius Maneikis (203-84, college: Motlow St. CC) orchestrated the victory by scoring 26 points and 7 rebounds (on 13-of-16 shooting from the field). Forward Darius Griskenas (194-84) contributed with 14 points, 8 rebounds and 4 blocks for the winners. point guard Dominikas Matutis (180-91) answered with 13 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists and forward Renatas Jonelis (201-84) added 13 points and 10 rebounds in the effort for Gargzdai-Bremena. Four Gargzdai-Bremena players scored in double figures. Meresta maintains thirteenth place in with 16-19 record. Newly promoted Gargzdai-Bremena keeps the fifteenth position with 26 games lost. Meresta will face higher ranked Statyba (#9) in Vilnius in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. Gargzdai-Bremena will play at home against Silute (#14) and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
