NEWSI am still pinching myself after watching another excellent EuroLeague Women Final Four. Last year in Vidnoje it was great. This year in Brno, it was even better. |

EuroLeague Women 2008 is in the books and for the second straight year the ladies from Spartak Moscow Region have a trophy to bring back to Russia with them. As the Faurie Files checks out until next season here's some news and notes from the final day of the competition. |

Spartak Moscow Region survived a furious fight-back from hosts Gambrinus Brno on Sunday to capture the EuroLeague Women title for the second time in a row. Lauren Jackson scored 18 points and pulled down 12 rebounds to lead Spartak to a 75-60 triumph. The Australia superstar, who had 35 in Spartak's semi-final success against Ekaterinburg, was named Final Four MVP. |
