They looked well-organized offensively handing out 23 assists. International guard Joana Soeiro (170-1995, college: Marian, IN) stepped up and scored 15 points, 8 assists and 7 steals for the winners and Brazilian forward Raphaella Monteiro (181-1995) chipped in 11 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists. Four Benfica players scored in double figures. The best for the losing side was American swingman Vashti Nwagbaraocha (181-1997, college: William Penn) with 22 points and 8 rebounds and guard Ines Ramos (164-2001) scored 17 points. Both coaches used bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Benfica have an impressive series of twenty one victories in a row. Defending champion maintains first place with 21-0 record. Esgueira at the other side keeps the third position with seven games lost. They share it with GDESSA. Benfica are looking forward to face league's second-placed Sportiva in Ponta Delgada in the next round and it will be for sure the game of the week. Esgueira will play on the road against Imortal in Albufeira and is hoping to prove to their supporters that this time they can win.
