16/03/2021 09:51 Leixões SC claim record-breaking 9th Portuguese women’s Cup title News from the National Federations Matosinhos/Porto, Portugal, March 16, 2021. Leixões SC triumphed this past weekend in the final of the Portuguese women’s national cup as they beat Sporting CP 3-1 (16-25, 25-21, 25-17, 25-20), in what was some sort of a rehearsal of the playoff matches featuring these same teams coming up soon in the national league. Leixões SC, who had last lifted the trophy back in 1991, are now the team with the most titles in the national cup – as many as nine, one more than those claimed by Castêlo da Maia GC. The Final Four of the national cup took place at the Matosinhos Sports and Congress Centre, where the national teams of Portugal will be contesting their respective EuroVolley 2021 qualifiers in May. What was special is that all referees, scorers and line judges involved in the semis and final matches were females – a history-making feat in Portuguese Volleyball. Maria Noel with 18 points, and Dominican Madeline Paredes, with 16, both representing Leixões SC, were the best scorers in the match. Brazilian outside hitter Fernanda Silva, who recorded 12 points for Leixões SC, said: “After a less successful first set, where we did not perform well, we re-focussed and followed the plan we had drawn up for this match. We managed to impose our game and ended up having a fair and clear victory. Tomorrow is a new day and the playoffs will be another page to turn on our journey as a team. We will start from scratch in the national championship.”
