Their players were unselfish on offense dishing 34 assists comparing to just 15 passes made by Elbasani's players. It was a great evening for the former international power forward Ebi Dishnica (182-1997) who led her team to a victory scoring 13 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists. Serbian forward Tijana Djukic (193-1993, college: Utah St.) helped adding 13 points and 9 rebounds. Five Tirana players scored in double figures. Tirana's coach felt very confident using 10 players and allowed the starting five to rest.
