The cup was contested this weekend in the traditional format where two teams got a bye and the other four teams had to try to win three games in three days. The first contest on Friday was excellent with Sleza Wroclaw just edging Lublin 75-74. The cup traditionally includes a team from the second division and MUKS Poznan, which recently played in the top division, got the honor. Alicja Szloser had a good game for them, but the competition ended up being too tough of a step up as Maria Burliga and Zaglebie Sosnowiec cruised to an 89-68 win.
Anna Jakubiuk and Gdynia had one of the byes, but that did not help them in Saturday’s early game as Aleksandra Mielnicka and Sleza Wroclaw got the 80-76 win. Gorzow was able to control their game and get the 99-72 win over Zaglebie Sosnowiec. Sleza Wroclaw had the tough task of winning on three consecutive days to grab the trophy, but they stayed strong through the second half on Sunday, getting a good game from G’mrice Davis for the 87-68 win to send a message to the top seed Gorzow.
