The game was essentially decided in the first quarter, with Campobasso leading 30-13 after the first ten minutes. The gap furthered to 44-15 at half-time and, despite a brief Geas fightback, the outcome was never in question. Marta Moscarella led the scoring for Campobasso with 24 points, followed by Blanca Quinonez (15), Alice Del Sole (10), and Carlotta Giacchetti (10). Geas’ top scorers were Aurora Appetiti (14) and Virginia Magni (12).
