The first quarter saw a tightly contested battle, with a back-and-forth affair resulting in only a one-point lead of Panevezys after ten minutes of play (21-20).
In the second quarter, the momentum began to swing in favor of the Lithuanian squad. A key turning point came with the injury to Polina Tupalo, who had already registered 2 blocks. With Tupalo off the court, Panevezys unleashed a run that culminated in Gabriele Sulske's two-pointer just before halftime, giving Panevezys their first double-digit lead of the game (43-33).
Throughout the second half, Panevezys effectively exploited their physical advantages, dominating the boards and steadily extending their lead to secure a comfortable victory.
Gabriele Sulske led Panevezys in scoring with 24 points, while two teammates contributed double-doubles: Urtė Bukauskaite tallied 13 points and 12 rebounds, and Kriste Timofejeva recorded 12 points and 12 rebounds.
Liva Hermane carried the scoring load for TTT Riga Juniores, netting 20 points.
This win propels Panevezys into the final, while TTT Riga Juniores will compete for third place on Sunday.
