Post-game quotes:
Vjekoslav Lokica, coach of Split: „We are happy and it was a little bit surprising for us, because we didn’t came up with a full roster. In the finals there was a drama, but we won and we are happy. The tournament was great, it came seven days before the start of the second half of the Croatian championship, so we had a chance to play with teams from other countries and it was great.“
Alen Ploj, coach of Maribor: „We are very happy that we participated in this tournament. In the finals both teams deserved to win. Congratulations to Split, we are happy with our performance and we believe it will continue in our championship. We hope that next year we will have more international games. It’s good for women’s basketball.“
