Regular Season Round 21: Mursa - Zadar 68-70
Date: March 23, 2019
Eleventh-ranked Mursa (3-18) gave a tough game to fourth ranked KK Zadar (15-6) in Osijek on Saturday. The visitors from Zadar managed to secure only two-point victory 70-68. However their fans expected much easier game. The guests were tied at the half but managed to speed up in last two quarters eventually winning the game. KK Zadar forced 23 Mursa turnovers. Forward Ana Mandic (180-1) stepped up with a double-double by scoring 11 points, 14 rebounds, 6 assists and 5 steals for the winners and power forward Ana Vrsaljko (188-84) chipped in 20 points and 10 rebounds. Five KK Zadar players scored in double figures. The best for the losing side was Petra Simunic (-93) with 20 points and 6 assists and Ksenija Sarlija (-93) scored 11 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. Mursa's coach rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help. The victory was the third consecutive win for KK Zadar. They maintain fourth place with 15-6 record. Newly promoted Mursa dropped to the bottom position with 18 games lost. KK Zadar will face league's leader ZKK Medvescak in Zagreb in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. Mursa will play on the road against Ragusa (#6) in Dubrovnik and hope to win that game.
