Campobasso Women — Cinkarna Celje Women: 75:53, EuroCup Women

Campobasso Women fell to Cinkarna Cele 75 with a scoreline of 75:53 in the EuroCup on Wednesday evening. The visitors carried the side from the opening moments, never getting out of second gear after their early dominance. It was a sobering result for the hosts, who had been picking up wins in recent outings.

Campobasso had ended a barren spell with back-to-back victories in October — an 84:56 triumph over San Martin J and a tight 57:55 win against Libertas Livorno Women. By then, confidence was building. But this match told a different story, and the visitors punished them from every angle.

The statistics painted a clear picture. Cinkarna Cele 75 shot 19 from the field compared to 24 for the hosts, but their efficiency from beyond the arc — six successful three-pointers to four — made the difference. The visitors also committed fewer turnovers, 19 to 13, and controlled the glass with 19 rebounds against 35 for Campobasso. Things came to a head in the second half when the gap widened beyond reach.

Campobasso sit top of the table after six games, with four wins and two losses. The zero points in the standings simply means the season has just started and the table says nothing yet. What matters is momentum, and this defeat let the tie slip from their grasp for now.

Cinkarna Cele 75 arrived with a winning streak of their own, having taken 91:50, 83:53, and 72:50 in their last three matches. The heat took the sting out of it for the hosts, who were left exposed on both ends of the court. The visitors now hold every card in this fixture going forward.
