Just a quick (and semi-late) update. Last weekend we once again added some more hardware to the Vici name by winning the Baltic League!!! We had a semi final game where we played Lemminkainen for like the 80th time this season. We started the game a little slow, and weren’t able to hit anything, so the game was actually close for awhile. After settling down in the second half we pulled away more and once again won by double digits. Ugly game, but I still of course chanted “we goin to the ship” afterwards (shout out to all my Hardball fans!! :) ).
The championship game was then against a Russian Spartak team, but no, not the same Spartak team from Euroleague. They were still going to be good competition though as they had some strong players including a girl from the WNBA. It was a pretty exciting game, and once again nice to play against tougher competition, but our girls were raining 3s left and right and we ended up with a double digit lead for most of the game, winning 85-72!! It was a great win as most everyone played well, making it a big team effort. :)

We had another big celebration similar to the DNB Cup win, including my favorite- you guessed it- CONFETTI (see “Checks on my Bucket List” post)!!!! We again had so much fun celebrating, as you can see in all these pictures and videos--

And if you notice in the one picture below of Marina where Courtnay’s behind her putting her hands up making the "3" sign over her eyes- those are called "3 goggles". It was all the rage in college basketball this year and I was happy to bring the trend to Lithuania!! You can see Marina and I doing it on the bench when Courtnay hits a 3 and Marina also did it in the game after she hit one of her 3s. Nothing like a good celebratory fad! Lol.)

They even gave us Championship shirts right after the game-- LEGIT.
LOVE this laughter pic!! :)
