Spanish League Round 17 January 11th-16th

by

A number of teams still cannot play, but one of the games from Round 13 that was postponed was played on Tuesday and it was quite exciting with Tanaya Atkinson and Leia Dongue helping Araski rally to defeat Ferrol 84-82.  Only two games scheduled for this round were played, both on Sunday.  Antonia Delaere led Zaragoza past Sedis 71-42.  A battle of teams with title aspirations saw Girona grind out a 61-55 win over Cristina Ouvina and Valencia.

Turkish League Round 14 January 12th-16th

by

Galatasaray was healthy enough to play again, but their continental game was postponed so they were able to play their game from the last round on Wednesday, but they were surprised by Brooque Williams and Kayseri 61-58.  Three games were played on Saturday including Galatasaray falling again, this time to Botas 75-65.  Cukurova returned from their pause with a 75-40 win over Kayseri.  Besiktas continued to play well with a 79-74 win over Alaina Coates and Nesibe.  The two new teams in the league played on Sunday and Bursa was led by Merve Ari and Kathleen Doyle in their 77-69 win over Luca Ivankovic and Antalya to continue their ideal start.  The combination of Teaira McCowan and Danielle Robinson paced Orman again, this time in an 86-65 win over Izmit.

Group A:

All of the games from the other group ended up being postponed along with one game from this group, leaving three scheduled games for Wednesday.  Szekszard chased their first win with a strong first half, but they ran out of steam against MBA in the second half and lost 73-64.  Down a key players against an Ekaterinburg side at full strength for the first time this season, USK Praha gave a good account of themselves, but the visitors won 90-77 behind Brittney Griner and Jonquel Jones.  Riga got a solid 62-54 win over Reyer that keeps a path for them to advance.  A game from the last round was made up on Saturday in Salamanca and Kahleah Copper, Leonor Rodriguez, and Katie Lou Samuelson helped Avenida shoot past Reyer 100-69.

EuroCup Round of 16 Game 1 January 11th-13th

by

One series started on Tuesday as the two closest seeds met in Greece.  Kamile Nacickaite and Alaina Coates helped 9 seed Nesibe build a solid lead, but Evdokia Stamati and 9 seed Olympiacos did recover in the fourth quarter to only lose 83-79 and give themselves a solid shot in the next game.  Postponements hit three series, leaving four games played on Thursday.  15 seed Orman edged 2 seed Valencia 68-66 behind Danielle Robinson.  Aleksandra Crvendakic and 5 seed Lyon should feel reasonably confident after a solid win in Syktyvkar even if Raisa Musina helped 20 seed Nika trim the final margin to 76-63.  Stephanie Mavunga and 10 Polkowice won 75-72, but 7 seed Nadezhda will feel like they have the advantage at home after not playing at their best.  Ariel Atkins and 6 seed Prometey had the advantage for most of the game, but Quinn Dornstauder and 11 seed Braine trimmed the final deficit to a 93-92 loss.

Israeli League Round 13 January 9th-10th

On the schedule, these are the matchups from Round 14 and it started Sunday with the two teams at the top of the standings.  Bernice Mosby and Maccabi Haifa kept it even in the first quarter, but it was all Hapoel Rishon Lezion led by Jennie Simms and Eden Zipel for an 85-55 win.  That ended up being the only game played to completion as virus concerns wiped out all four games on Monday in dramatic fashion.  Confirmed postponement was quite late for three of the games while the key game at the bottom of the standings between Elitzur Tel Aviv and Herzliya started, but was abandoned when the hosts committed enough fouls to be left with not enough players to proceed.

The round started on Sunday in Krasnoyarsk with an 81-70 Enisey win over Azura Stevens and Nika.  Dynamo Kursk had no trouble tripling up Spartak Noginsk 108-36.  It took overtime in Vidnoje, but MBA did edge Daria Repnikova and Spartak Moscow 77-73.  The combination of Khaalia Hillsman and Tiana Mangakahia led Dynamo Moscow past Samara 93-79.  Emma Meesseman and Ekaterinburg had an easy 92-43 win in Rostov-on-Don.  On Monday, Natisha Hiedeman and Nadezhda looked set to win, but Dynamo Novosibirsk had their foreign trio of Kaila Charles, Chloe Wells, and Kayla Alexander pace them in a dramatic comeback for an 81-78 win.
