Elitzur Ramla Women put on a masterclass in Athens, beating Protheas Voulas 79 to 46 in the EuroCup on Tuesday. The visitors took control early and never looked back, winning by thirty-three points. It was a confident display from the Israeli side, who moved with purpose from the opening tip-off. To be fair, the gap opened wider than most expected.
Ramla's shooting was clinical throughout. They hit 32 of their field-goal attempts compared to Voulas's 17, while also connecting on eight three-pointers against four. The visitors recorded 24 assists, moving the ball around with a rhythm that left the home defence scrambling. Voulas managed only 13 assists and 16 turnovers, a combination that kept them chasing shadows.
The rebound battle told a similar story. Ramla collected 40 rebounds to Voulas's 32, with their defensive presence particularly strong on the boards. They also recorded ten steals to six, turning defence into transition chances. Voulas had more offensive rebounds at twelve to six, but it made little difference when their shots were not falling.
And here's the thing, we had this one right from the start. We gave the visitors a seventy percent confidence rating for a win, and they delivered exactly that. Sometimes the market underestimates a deeper squad, and this was one of those nights. Ramla looked comfortable in their roles, and the result reflected that certainty.
With the victory, Ramla stay third in the table after six games, with three wins and three losses. They have not yet accumulated points in the standings, but the form is building. The gap between them and the teams above remains tight, and this performance suggests they are ready to challenge.
Voulas now face a difficult run of fixtures. Their recent results have been mixed, but this kind of defeat adds pressure on the coaching staff. They will need to tighten things up quickly if they want to salvage momentum from the tournament. By then, the window for improvement will be closing fast.
