Regular Season Round 1: Alba Iulia - Craiova 68-51

Date: September 23, 2012
Everything could happen at the game between two tied teams. Both leader Alba Iulia and bottom-ranked Craiova had identical 0-0 record. This time Alba Iulia used a home court advantage and won against the opponent from Craiova 68-51. It was a key game for the top position in the league. The game was mostly controlled by Alba Iulia. Craiova was better in fourth quarter 18-10. But it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. They outrebounded Craiova 48-22 including a 38-14 advantage in defensive rebounds. American forward Amanda Thompson (183-87, college: Oklahoma) nailed a double-double by scoring 17 points and 16 rebounds (on 8-of-9 shooting from the field) for the winning side and Latvian center Zenta Melnika (197-91, agency: FCM) accounted for 12 points and 7 rebounds (perfect from the field making all six shots). Alba Iulia's coach Tomas Bilek used entire bench and allowed the starting five to rest. The former international center Gabriela Toma (192-74) came up with 10 points and 4 assists and Serbian guard Marija Prlja (163-87) added 8 points and 5 rebounds respectively for Craiova in the defeat. Alba Iulia maintains first place with 1-0 record, which they share with 6 other teams. Craiova at the other side still closes the standings with one game lost. Alba Iulia's next round opponent will be Sp.Studentesc (#6) in Bucuresti which should be theoretically an easy game. Craiova will play at home against Timisoara and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
