The JX-Eneos Sunflowers captured the Empress' Cup, which, according to their veteran point guard Asami Yoshida, had always belonged to them.
A pair of Japan national team inside players, Yuka Mamiya and Ramu Tokashiki, scored 22 points and 16 point, respectively, to guide the Sunflowers to their first All-Japan Championship title in two years with a 69-61 victory over the Toyota Motors Antelopes in the women's final on Sunday.
Last year's final was the same matchup, but the winner was reverse. Toyota Motors snapped the Sunflowers' championship streak in the tournament at four in the 2013 edition.
