KK Karpos Sokoli 2000 made a huge step towards the Second Stage in SIGAL UNIQA Balkan League. The Skopje team visited SK Tirana and thanks to a great run in the third quarter managed to pull away and eventually win 100-83. With that result the team threw out the hosts from the competition. This win may be enough for Karpos to advance if Trepca loses tomorrow away at Peja or next week at Sutjeska. The Skopje team has the advantage from the two games and if the two teams finished with the same record The Macedonian will take the higher position.
