Daria Repnikova, UMMC guard:
- It was a good game. It probably took us slightly longer to gain full pace under strain, and 3-point shots let us down today, but everything was well with our motivation. We are moving forward gradually and gaining the form before more important games.
UMMC will play the next match on the road on January 20 in Vidnoje, meeting with Sparta&K.
