Elitzur Survive Taranto Scare

Elitzur Ramla were given a lesson on Thursday night by Levoni Taranto but avoided a meltdown and prevailed in the tie over two legs to reach the EuroCup Women semi-finals.

After thrashing the Italian side 78-51 in front of their own fans in Israel last week, Elitzur went down 84-62 at Taranto - good enough to secure a five-point win on aggregate.

In a most unexpected capitulation by the Italian outfit, the Israeli club extended a 19-18 lead by the end of the first quarter to 41-28 by half-time and any hope Taranto had of getting back into the game disappeared quickly after the third period got underway.
