Although Serbia and Montenegro does not have as impressive a record in girl's basketball as in boy's, the 2003 cadette team certainly looked impressive en route to an 8-0 record and the European Championship.

Serbia and Montenegro did not make the game look as easy as their male counterparts in Rivas, playing several close games on the way to the final. Most notably, they won their quarter and semi-final games by a combined margin of 3 points, defeating Croatia 56-55 (quarter-final) and Ukraine 64-62 (semi-final).
