How the game unfolded

The Lublin team arrived in Wrocław with uncertainty. Their roster changed dramatically in winter and only three players remained from the previous lineup, their coach Marek Lebiedziński admitted. He refused to set firm goals because the squad faces a tough Euroleague stretch and most newcomers lack big-game experience. He said he wanted to raise the players’ level rather than lament the situation.

On the court, the coach’s caution proved unnecessary. Lublin played a complete game and dominated from the third quarter onward. The visitors scored in runs late in the third quarter and opened a 13-point gap. That cushion removed drama in the final period. The final score read 78:60.

LOTTO AZS UMCS Lublin Super Cup: stars and stats

Other contributors included Treffers with 15 and Rembiszewska with 10. For Ślęza, Aleksandra Mielnicka led with 12 points.

The official boxscore listed the referees as Matuszewska, Kucharski and Pacek. Attendance numbered 1150.

💡 GOOD TO KNOW: Polish sports events often attract local fan bases rather than large international crowds. Tickets sell at club outlets and online. If you are an expat, follow team social media or local club websites for match updates and ticket info. In Poland, many official procedures use PESEL (a national ID number) and ZUS/NFZ relate to social insurance and health care; these do not affect how you attend a match, but knowing local IDs helps with online purchases and registration on club portals.

Why this matters to expats. First, the result shows that Polish women’s basketball competes at a strong regional level. Lublin’s win matters for fans seeking high-level sport in eastern Poland. Second, fixtures like the Super Cup serve as a showcase before European competition. Expect increased media coverage and occasional travel opportunities if you follow the team.

For residents in Lublin and visitors in Wrocław, matches provide a local cultural experience. Arena attendance tends to be family-friendly and affordable compared with many Western European leagues. Clubs often run community programs and English-language updates are increasingly common on social channels.
