SUBOTICA, Serbia (Interstat) — Vojvodina will aim to remain unbeaten when it visits Spartak in a women’s professional basketball game Thursday. Vojvodina enters with a 2-0 record, while Spartak sits at 1-1. The contest matches a Vojvodina side that has started strong against a Spartak team looking to build on its first victory of the season.
Vojvodina’s most recent outing was a 78-62 home win over Mega MIS. Jovana Adamovic led the way with 24 points, 11 rebounds and three blocks in 32 minutes. Sara Krnjic added 22 points, 13 rebounds, two assists and three blocks in 38 minutes, and Zaklina Jankovic contributed six points, nine rebounds and four assists in 37 minutes. Vojvodina also opened its season with an 89-49 road win at Duga.
Adamovic is the player to watch for Vojvodina. Her production against Mega MIS came on both ends of the floor, and she helped control the interior. Vojvodina has received additional support from Krnjic and Jankovic, who both played extensive minutes in the team’s latest win. The visiting side will look to continue its efficient start and keep its record perfect.
Spartak’s most recent result was a 60-50 road win at Duga. Brianna Barnes powered the victory with 29 points, 14 rebounds and one assist in 40 minutes.

Barnes is the player to watch for Spartak. She played the full 40 minutes in the team’s latest game and recorded a double-double. Marquavia contributed across the stat sheet, and Jovanovic provided a secondary scoring option. Spartak will need similar production at home as it seeks to move above .500.
The meeting is one of several early-season games for both clubs. Vojvodina is scheduled to host Student Nis next, while Spartak is set to host Crvena Zvezda. Both teams will continue their schedules later in the month and beyond, but the immediate focus is on Thursday’s matchup.
Spartak will try to use its home court to slow a Vojvodina team that has scored at least 78 points in each of its first two games. Vojvodina will aim to maintain its defensive form after holding Duga to 49 points and Mega MIS to 62.
