Mercy bag the big baskets to retain crown

DCU MERCY retained their Women’s SuperLeague National Cup title when they disposed of Team Montenotte in a disappointing final at the National Basketball Arena yesterday.

In a game littered with poor shooting and passing options, DCU found the big baskets in the third quarter, and that proved decisive.

In an explosive start to the opening quarter, DCU, helped by the superb shooting of Suzanne Maguire, surged into a six point lead.
