Czech Cup Final April 1st

April 1, 2021

The tournament did not follow the original plan, but the final game was played on Thursday.  There was no lack of familiarity between teams after they had just faced off in the semifinals of league play, and there was no change in the results.  After sweeping in the playoffs, Brionna Jones led USK Praha past KP Brno one last time 96-55 to capture the trophy that the team has not always competed for in the past.
