The logistics of this competition continue to be tricky, including team and group shuffling, but more games were played over the week. Anna Jurcenkova and Young Angels Kosice hosted a pair of games, starting on Saturday with a 77-60 to Tereza Palenikova, Matea Tadic, and fellow Slovak side Piestanske Cajky. They bounced back on Monday with a 79-73 win over Ostrava.
Two sites in Belarus are hosting games so that the Group B teams from outside the country can face the local teams. On Tuesday, Nika beat Britney Jones and Tsmoki-Minsk 72-67. Grodno is borrowing Horizont’s home in Minsk for these games and lost to Nika 67-49 to start play on Wednesday. The hosts welcomed Kitija Laksa and Riga in the next game, losing 80-72. Britney Jones had another good game for Tsmoki, but they lost to Kibirkstis 62-58. Horizont played the first game on Thursday, fending off Lindsay Allen and Nika 81-78. Kibirkstis then beat Grodno 61-45. Over at Tsmoki’s arena, Riga beat the hosts 82-61. Two more games were played at Horizont’s home on Friday. First, Riga beat Grodno 79-41. Viktoriya Hasper then led the hosts past Kibirkstis 70-62.
