The 5th place in the A1 Women’s championship will be claimed by PAS Giannina WBC after its second victory over PAOK, this time in Thessaloniki, in the context of the 2nd round of the playoffs.
The team from Ioannina prevailed with a score of 60-78 and did not need the home advantage, which it will also have against Iraklis, with whom it will compete for the 5-6 places.
The absence of Jones, who scored 30 of her team’s 57 points in the first game in Ioannina, made the task easy for PAS Ioannina from one point on, as in the first half of the game the failure of its players and the many mistakes allowed PAOK to be close to the score. When shots from outside the three-point line started coming in at some point, the value of the difference rose to double digits and the victory came easily.
Leading for Marios Michael’s team was Marini, who scored 26 points, hitting 8 of the 11 three-pointers she attempted. She was followed by Sarigiannidou with 17 points and 14 rebounds, and Markovic with 15 points. All eight players scored for PAS.
