Kibirkštis MRU Vilnius Women defeated Athenaikos Women 103:65 in the EuroLeague on 14 October 2026. The Lithuanian side made no mistake at home, extending their dominance over the Greek visitors with a comfortable thirty-eight-point margin. To be fair, the result reflected what both sides had been showing in recent weeks.
And here's the thing about this game — it never really felt close. The hosts paid for a sloppy opening, but Athenaikos did not travel to make up the numbers. They simply lacked the firepower to match Vilnius from the first quarter onwards.
We had called a home win with seventy per cent confidence before the game, and that prediction came through. The margin was wider than expected, but the direction was never in doubt. Vilnius have kept three clean sheets on the spin in terms of winning streak, and this fit the pattern.
The hosts arrived with momentum. They had beaten TTT Riga 80:59 on 10 October, followed that with a 102:76 victory over Neptunas Klaipėda, and before that secured a 90:71 win against Šiauliai-Universitetas. Each game showed the same trajectory — comfortable victories with growing confidence.
Athenaikos, by contrast, were finding their way. A 62:92 loss to Janina on 10 October stood as their most recent result, and before that they had managed a 94:55 win over Kavala. The inconsistency between those two games told you everything about their vulnerability.
The thirty-eight-point gap now sits between these two sides in the standings. It extends Vilnius' unbeaten run and leaves Athenaikos to regroup before their next fixture. The numbers tell the story without needing further explanation.
