Israeli League 2nd Stage Round 3 April 4th-5th

by

Upper Group:

The feature game from this group on Sunday was a good one as Victoria Macaulay and Marina Mabrey helped Herzliya have a strong second half to edge Eden Rotberg, Khaalia Hillsman, and Maccabi Ramat Hen 79-74.  On Monday, Elitzur Holon beat Maccabi Haifa 73-64.  Elitzur Ramla was even more shorthanded than they have been, but Naama Shafir took on a bigger scoring role than usual and Allison Hightower was the one import they had as they got past Khadijiah Cave, Alexis Peterson, and Maccabi Ashdod 79-74.

The halfway point in this stage was reached after the games on Monday.  Hapoel Ironi Rishon Lezion was back to being shorthanded and that allowed Jennie Simms to launch Ramat Hasharon to a 79-70 win.  Maccabi Raanana is also shorthanded and has largely been letting Kaela Davis try to carry them as they fell to Shenise Johnson, Kristen Simon, and Hapoel Petah Tikva 77-66.

Spanish League Quarterfinals Game 2 April 3rd-4th

by

Between games of the series, it was learned that Ensino could not play their second game against Valencia yet, but two series concluded on Saturday.  In Salamanca, Avenida rolled past Gran Canaria 95-62 to push the final margin to 175-123.  Girona also had a big lead from the first game and took it easier in the second game with a 74-67 win over Clarinos still enough for a decisive 153-112 aggregate.  This two-game format certainly changed team approaches to each game as a win at home for Estudiantes game them bigger hopes at an upset.  Gernika had to work hard to overturn that deficit and a late push for a 74-64 win was enough to flip the final margin in their favor 116-111.

European League Final Four April 3rd-4th

by

Local virus restrictions meant that the two teams from Slovakia could not schedule their semifinals series so Horizont and Nika both advanced to the Final Four in Belarus.  Bernice Mosby and upstarts Prometey tried to make some noise in the first game on Saturday, but it was an experienced hand in Anastasiya Verameyenka that led Horizont to an 84-73 win.  It was a similar matchup in the other game with Ieva Pulvere and Riga looking to defend their title, but Maria Cherepanova and Nika won 72-64.  A positive test for Prometey meant that only one game was played on Sunday.  Kiara Leslie tried to lift Nika to a win in the final, but Anastasiya Verameyenka led Horizont to a 70-60 win, grabbing MVP honors.

All series continued on Saturday as teams looked for sweeps or to force third games on Monday.  Osnabruck had already completed the tougher task with the road win at depleted Wasserburg and at home Sam Fuehring was brilliant as they won 88-78 with Maggie Mulligan and Anne Zipser providing a valiant effort for the league’s former dominant team..  Alex Kiss-Rusk led Keltern to a 72-64 win over Halle to finish their sweep.  Marburg’s first win at home was tough, but it was easier on the road as Marie Bertholdt paced them in a 79-55 win over Gottingen.  A day of sweeps was finished with Laura Zolper and Herner beating Freiburg 69-59.
