Η σπουδαία Erica Davis Brown με την Daliborka Vilipic της Laveccini Parma !
Μετά από 13 χρόνια Ευρωπαϊκής ανομβρίας οι Εσπερίδες επιστρέφουν σε Ευρωπαϊκά παιχνίδια . Το 2008-09 ήταν η τελευταία χρονιά που η ομάδα μας έπαιξε στην Ευρώπη και μάλιστα με σπουδαία πορεία στο Eurocup με την ονοματοδοσία που έγραψε εποχή στο ελληνικό μπάσκετ γυναικών Esperides Ravenna Kallithea !!! Μόνο ο Sporting Flash 961 είχε ως τότε ονοματοδοτηθεί !!
Tην Πέμπτη 15 Ιουλίου στο Μόναχο θα μπει η ομάδα μας στην κληρωτίδα των προκριματικών στο Eurocup και θα αντιμετωπίσει μία εκ των της Τουρκικής Χατάϊ , της Ουγγρικής Σζάτα , της Πολωνικής Μπίσγκοντζ και της Ελιζούρ Χολόν από το Ισραήλ . Πρώτο ματς στην Αθήνα (σε άλλο γήπεδο από το κλειστό ¨Εσπερος αφού δεν πληρεί τις Ευρωπαϊκές προδιαγραφές) .
Η ομάδα μας τότε είχε φτάσει στις 16 κορυφαίες Ευρωπαϊκές ομάδες και αποκλείστηκε από την Ντιναμό Μόσχας με ήττα στην Καλλιθέα 74-75 και ήττα 60-52 στην Μόσχα (05.02.2009) . Στον όμιλο οι Εσπερίδες Καλλιθέας είχαν αποκλείσει την Βοσνιακή Ζελέζνιτσαρ , την Λετονική Σέσις και την Ιταλική Λαβετσίνι Πάρμα !! Εν συνεχεία απέκλεισαν στην φάση των 32 την Γαλλική Σαλ Λο με νίκη 77-62 στα Πυρηναία και 51-51 ισοπαλία στην Καλλιθέα. Προπονητής μας τότε ο Αλέκος Δάγλας (συνεργάτες Κουρμούλης Τασιόπουλος, φυσιοθεραπευτής Δρέττας) . Ο Αλέκος Δάγλας επέστρεψε φέτος μετά από 12 χρόνια στην Καλλιθέα σαν προπονητής της ανδρικής ομάδας του ¨Εσπερου .

DYNAMO SURVIVE ESPERIDES SCARE, KURSK AND GALA ALSO THROUGH
Ravenna Esperides threw a major scare into EuroCup Women favorites Dynamo Moscow on Thursday before falling 60-52.
The second-leg defeat left the Greeks with a nine-point loss on aggregate in the Eighth-Finals tie after the Russians only prevailed 75-74 in the first encounter in Greece.
Joining Dynamo in the Quarter-Finals were Dynamo Kursk and Galatasaray after they also won their respective legs.
Natalia Hejkova's Dynamo Moscow was in a dogfight with Ravenna Esperides.
The game was knotted at 32-32 less than two minutes before half-time.
That's when Dynamo landed important blows, going on a 10-2 run for a 42-34 lead at the break.
A three-point play by Janell Burse and then a Belinda Snell shot from the arc sparked the surge that gave Hejkova's team some breathing space.
At the break, Burse had 12 points and the emerging Russia international Marina Kuzina 14 for Dynamo.
Ravenna Esperides looked in danger of being blown out early in the fourth when Anastasia Logunova's jump shot gave the home side a 54-40 lead.
The visitors hit back quickly with an eight-point burst - the last six on three-balls from Styliani Kaltsidou.
Ravenna could have drawn even closer on their next four possessions but Argyroula-Kiriaki Kalogirou, Dimitra Kalentzou, Kaltsidou and Olga Chatzinikolaou all missed shots.
The next to score was Anete Jekabsone-Zogota with a lay-up and Dynamo held on to advance to the Quarter-Finals.
Kuzina finished with 19 points and Burse 18 for Dynamo, while Kaltsidou top-scored for Ravenna with 18.
