The JX Sunflowers once again proved that they are the queens of the floor, giving their opponent Denso Iris a tough lesson.
The Sunflowers overwhelmed Denso in every phase of the game as they grabbed their fourth-straight Empress' Cup with a 78-52 win in the 78th All-Japan Championship final at Yoyogi National Gymnasium No. 2 on Sunday afternoon.
It was the second "four-peat" for the Sunflowers, who previously achieved the feat between 2001 and 2004 (then as the Japan Energy Sunflowers). Nichibo Hirano holds the record with five consecutive championships from 1965.
