Omsk “Neftyanik” lost big on the road to “Nika”

On Saturday, October 22, Omsk basketball players played in Syktyvkar with the favorite of the Russian Women’s Premier League – the local “Nika” and lost. The score of the meeting is 94:76.

On Saturday, October 22, ZhBK “Neftyanik” played a match with one of the favorites of the current season in the Russian Women’s Premier League – Syktyvkar “Nika”. The game was played on the opponent’s court, and our team lost big – 76:94.

On the one hand, everything is understandable – the composition of “Nika” is more than powerful. In the off-season, legionnaires from Canada, Serbia and Slovenia came to it. The club also retained in its camp the captain and the absolute leader in the game, Raisa Musina.

Omsk began the game quite well, going ahead by 7 points. But then they made a series of mistakes, and this gave the “Zyryanochkas” to seize the initiative themselves.

By the middle of the second period, Nika’s lead reached +17. But the guests still managed to reduce this difference by half before the big break – up to 9 points.

The third quarter was the most unfortunate for the Omsk players – the difference was “-9”. Even here there was a struggle. The final period was equal – 24:24.

Nevertheless, the defeat is understandable, given that the “oil” Zaitsev, Krylov, Levchenko and Mukataev are still on sick leave, and Zakharova also did not appear in this game. So the team definitely has reserves.

Albina Khamitova and Svetlana Kramar (13 points each) became the most productive among the guests here.

Formerly MK in Omsk wrotethat in the match of the Cup of Russia “Neftyanik” successfully beat “Nadezhda”. But in their pair this is only the first meeting, the return will be held in Orenburg.
