LCC International University held a slight edge for much of the first half. However, TTT Riga seized control towards the end of the second quarter, unleashing a 13-2 run to establish an 8-point lead going into the break (45-37).

LCC International University experienced a sense of déjà vu in the third quarter. Much like in their semifinal loss, the third quarter proved disastrous, as TTT Riga surged ahead to build a commanding 21-point advantage (70-49).

However, the team from Klaipeda showed their character and refused to give up. In the final minutes, LCC International University  mounted a comeback, narrowing the deficit to just 5 points (76-71). Ultimately, however, they were unable to complete the comeback and avoid the loss.

TTT Riga was propelled to victory by an unstoppable duo: Ketija Vihmane (19 points) and Vanesa Jasa (18). Anna Liepina contributed 13 points, while Karline Pilabere and Evelina Otto added 11 points each.

TTT Riga played without their American duo, Mia Loyd and Dominique Wilson.

Gerda Raulusaityte led LCC International University with 21 points, followed by Lina Loceniece (15) and Elizabete Bulane (12).
