Reyer was finally able to play their first leg game on Tuesday and they took the lead early, but Valencia came back to win 61-57 and bring home a lead. The first series concluded on Wednesday and Kelsey Plum made sure that Galatasaray would advance as a 76-69 win over Szekszard was enough to move on with a 164-129 aggregate win. It was Cukurova’s turn to complete a sweep on Thursday with an 82-68 win over Lyon pushing the final margin to 159-132. Bourges trailed narrowly after losing on the road, but a solid 74-55 win over Marine Fauthoux and Landes after a fast start gave them a 137-120 aggregate margin. On Sunday, defending champions Valencia had to feel reasonably comfortable at home, but Yvonne Anderson and Reyer quickly flipped the margin back to their favor and had the hosts on their back foot for the whole game, winning 75-67 to win 132-128 on aggregate. Reyer will face Cukurova in one semifinal while Galatasaray will play Bourges in the other game.
