In a Champions League Group A fixture, CSM Bucharest defeated Danish challengers Nyk\u00f8bing Falster on home turf, 27-26. CSM\u2019s top scorer Cristina Neagu, with ten goals. Neagu has thus become the top scorer in the history of Champions League in women\u2019s handball, with a record of 1,155 goals. Neagu outclassed the former record holder, Montenegrin handballer Jovanka Radi\u010devi\u0107.

In the final, Niculescu and Ruse defeated the all-Japanese pair made of Nao Hibino and Makoto Ninomiya, 6-3, 5-7, 10-5. Niculescu and Ruse will most likely go against Hibino and Ninomya for a second time around, in the Billie Jean King Cup inter-countries competition on November 14 in Malaga in the round of 16, when Romania is pitted against Japan. For Niculescu and Ruse, this was the second women\u2019s doubles title they have won pairing up with one another.
