January 19, 2021

Group A:

It was a busy start to the group stage on Tuesday, including a pair of games in Gyor in this pod.  Brianna Kiesel led the hosts, but Ty Harris and Kalani Brown helped Kayseri win 86-72.  Prometey assembled a solid roster as they provided Ukrainian representation on the continental level, but a good game from Ke’Shunan James was not enough in a 106-80 loss to Sara Krnjic and Szekszard.

Group B:

Umea was not able to make it to Ankara and had to withdraw, so only one game will be played per round in this group.  Their was some curiosity about how Elitzur Ramla would perform as their full strength roster is not legal in either this competition or domestic league play, but they started well behind Tiffany Mitchell and Betnijah Laney in an 80-61 win over Keyona Hayes and DVTK.

The three qualifiers were reducted to single games.  Wednesday’s play started in France, where Iva Slonjsak and Jacinta Monroe kept Hainaut in control to deny Winterthur a spot 85-57.  In Belgium, Mechelen hosted Clarinos, which has had a tumultuous season, but qualified by escaping with a 90-84 win.  Tanaya Atkinson and Kalis Loyd led the visitors while Lauren Manis and Agnieszka Skobel paced the hosts.  Grengewald Hueschtert was trying to give Luxembourg representation in the group stage, but had a tough trip to Belgium and fell to Namur 88-68 on Thursday.
