Lisburn-based Cleveland Rockets extended their impressive recent form on Saturday against the University of Galway Mystics to claim their place in the semi-final of the Domino's Women's Division One Basketball National Cup. Rockets started strongly, leading from the start, but Mystics were still in the game at half-time with the score at 48-30. However, a strong 33-12 third quarter in favour of the Rockets put the result beyond doubt. Rockets edged the fourth quarter 20-19 to win by 101-61.
