Reyer Venezia vs. San Martino
SAN MARTINO DI L, Italy (Interstat) — A surging Reyer Venezia looks to continue its dominant run when it visits struggling San Martino in a Euroleague Women matchup on Thursday.
The game is a quick rematch of Monday’s contest, which Venezia (28-10) won decisively, 80-51. San Martino (8-13) will seek home-court redemption after being thoroughly outplayed earlier in the week.
Venezia has won eight of its last ten games and sits among the elite in European competition. San Martino, conversely, has managed just three wins in its last ten outings. The head-to-head series this season favors Venezia 2-1, though San Martino’s lone victory was an 81-77 home win on Feb. 12, proving they can challenge the league powerhouse on their own floor.
A key matchup will feature the centers. Venezia’s Stephanie Mavunga is coming off a dominant double-double (16 points, 10 rebounds) in just 23 minutes against San Martino on Monday. For the hosts, Liz Scott was a bright spot in the loss, recording a 15-point, 15-rebound double-double. Scott had 22 points and 11 rebounds in a win over Broni on March 1, highlighting her capability to carry the scoring load.
Venezia’s balance was on full display Monday, with Martina Fassina (11 points, 9 rebounds) and Joyner Holmes (11 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists) providing strong support. San Martino will need more consistent production beyond Scott and guard Jordan Hobbs, who scored 13 points in the previous meeting.
The game tips off at 8:30 p.m. local time at Palasport San Martino di L. Following this contest, Venezia’s next scheduled Euroleague Women fixture is at Girona on April 15. San Martino continues its fight to climb the domestic and European standings.
