RSC Merx secured a 75:62 win against Liepajyas Paper/LSSS Women in the Motor League on Wednesday evening. The match took place on October 7th, 2026, with the final buzzer confirming the visitors' superiority. Liepajyas had looked promising in their previous outing but could not match the visitors' intensity.
The home side arrived with momentum from their 75:52 victory over Aistes LSU Kaunas three days earlier. However, that confidence did not translate into sustained performance against a Merx side showing signs of inconsistency themselves. They had lost their last three league encounters before this fixture.
RSC Merx came into the game following a heavy 75:87 defeat to Rokiskis Women on October 3rd. They had also suffered losses to TTT Riga in consecutive appearances, suggesting their defensive structure needed work. What stood out was their 65:56 win over Aistes LSU Kaunas in late February — a result that showed potential when they played with purpose.
The visitors controlled the tempo from the opening period and never really looked back. Liepajyas showed flashes of promise but could not find consistency in attack or defence. The 13-point margin reflected a game where RSC Merx simply outplayed their opponents when it mattered.
This result extends Merx's growing confidence ahead of their upcoming fixtures. For Liepajyas, the defeat provides a reality check after their recent bright spot against Kaunas. Both sides will need to address different aspects before their next league meetings.
