The British outfit had begun the second leg 75-68 behind and were still trailing in the dying moments of the game before a three-pointer from Holly Winterburn and two free throws from Megan Gustafson sealed an 81-70 victory on the night and an aggregate win of 149-145.
But the night was partly soured by the fact that the team are unlikely to be able to defend that title, after owners 777 Partners, the prospective buyer of Everton Football Club, said it was scaling back its spending on the women's team next season.
