ŽKK Krka runs rampant to open LWB Senior season, 78-37

In a one-sided season opener for the LWB Senior competition on 29 November 2025, ŽKK Krka dismantled Košarkaški klub Lider 78–37. The final margin reflected a game in which Krka steadily built control after an early deficit and never looked back.

The quarter-by-quarter numbers told the story: Košarkaški klub Lider 12, 9, 11, 5 — total 37; ŽKK Krka 20, 23, 16, 19 — total 78.

Košarkaški klub Lider began the match with a quick 7–0 burst, sparked by early baskets from Drinić Tamara. But ŽKK Krka responded with a sustained run that flipped the scoreboard before the first period ended, and Krka’s defense and efficient scoring extended the advantage through the second quarter to create a comfortable halftime cushion.

Standout performer and official player of the game was Černe Daša, who produced a deserved all-around performance: 17 points and a game-high 14 rebounds (including six offensive boards), finishing with an efficiency rating of 24. Her presence on the glass repeatedly gave Krka second-chance opportunities and helped seal the team’s dominance.

ŽKK Krka’s scoring was balanced. Ercegovčević Maša finished with 10 points and nine rebounds, while Selak Neja contributed a steady 9 points, going 5-for-6 from the line. Perimeter threats like Rožman Teja and Učakar Uma supplied key triples at pivotal moments, and players such as Počrvina Brina and Novina Iva mixed in timely plays to keep the margin growing.

On the other side, Drinić Tamara was the main offensive outlet for Lider, scoring a team-high 19 points on 8-of-16 shooting and converting several late free throws. Beyond her, Košarkaški klub Lider struggled to get consistent scoring: a handful of players hit the scoreboard, but the roster as a whole could not match Krka’s depth or rebounding edge.

Defensively Krka pressured the paint and controlled the boards; the statistical gap in rebounds and second-chance points proved decisive. ŽKK Krka turned defensive stops into fast-break and set-play points, particularly in the second quarter where they pulled away decisively.

By the fourth quarter the writing was on the wall. Krka managed the clock and the lead—spotting opportunities to add to the margin and finishing the contest with free throws in the closing minute to reach 78 points.

Final impressions: Krka showcased balance, discipline and inside-out play, while Lider showed moments of fight anchored by Drinić Tamara but lacked the collective production required to stay in the contest. The result sends ŽKK Krka into the next round with confidence and gives Košarkaški klub Lider plenty to work on as the season progresses.
