The Spar Girona women's basketball team achieved its seventh EuroLeague victory on Wednesday, December 17, 2025, defeating Flammes Carolo Basket 83-68 in France, virtually guaranteeing their place in the 'play-in' round.

The triumph in the Ardennes (68-83) marks the seventh victory in eight games for Uni, a record that ensures Carolo can no longer catch them in the standings. The key players were Coulibaly, who recorded 30 points, 14 rebounds, and a 39 valuation, and Jocyte, who scored 24 points with 6/11 three-pointers and provided 6 assists, matching Quevedo's assist total.

"It is an important victory, like all of them, that brings us closer to objectives to keep dreaming. Winning in France is always difficult, and we did it with sufficiency and personality."

The game was definitively broken in the third quarter when Spar Girona achieved a 12-30 run. After a demanding start, a 0-16 surge, featuring two three-pointers from Amihere and eight points from Coulibaly, paved the way. The team showed great character despite the absence of Carter and the return of Holm, who was back on the court after recovering from the flu.
This match was also Amihere's last EuroLeague game with the Girona team, as she will bid farewell to the fans this Sunday morning (11 a.m.) against Valencia. Additionally, the team must reschedule the postponed game against Gran Canaria, which was delayed due to Storm Emília, now set to be played on December 30, 2025, at 5:15 p.m.
