Romanian women’s basketball team Sepsi Sfântu Gheorghe have succeeded their first win in EuroCup’s Group C. On Wednesday, holders Sepsi grabbed a 70-63 home win against Greek opponents Proteas Voulas. Sepsi had the lead all throughout the game save for a short period of time when Proteas took the lead in the middle of the third quarter.

Sepsi’s top scorer was their American player Ciera Johnson with 24 points and 14 recoveries. In group C’s other fixture, in Belgrade, red Star sustained a 78-80 defeat by Spain’s IDK Gipuzkoa.
