The first game on Sunday was for the bronze medal and Katie Lou Samuelson and Avenida had a strong second half to win 71-59 over Brionna Jones and USK Praha.  That set up the big game in Istanbul that would give the winner a first championship.  Sopron started well, but Fenerbahce fought back in front of their home crowd, but could not take the lead and the visitors had a 60-55 wire-to-wire win with Gabby Williams receiving MVP honors.

The semifinals were played on Friday in Istanbul.  Jelena Brooks and Sopron built a big lead in the first game, but it got nervous in the second half before they held off Kahleah Copper and Avenida 74-69.  Hosts Fenerbahce looked to get their fans involved early behind Alina Iagupova, but Teja Oblak and Brionna Jones helped USK Praha build a big lead early in the second half before the home team rallied to control the rest of the game and win 83-74.

There were two series that needed deciding games.  In Praha on Friday, USK and Schio both fired away from long range with Maria Conde and the hosts ending up with a 90-77 win over Kim Mestdagh and company.  The last series was decided on Saturday with league rivals meeting again as Kahleah Copper led Avenida again, this time winning 74-65 over Girona.  They will face Sopron in one semifinal while USK Praha will play Fenerbahce.

Two series chose the other format with the first two games on successive weeks.  On Tuesday, Schio took the lead on USK Praha again, but this time took care of business at home 69-56 to force a deciding game.  Rebekah Gardner and Girona were also facing elimination at home on Wednesday and looked like they were in solid shape then looked like they would lose before forcing overtime and prevailing 81-79 over Kahleah Copper and Avenida.

Given the possibility of disruptions, FIBA gave the involved clubs multiple scheduling options for the three games in each series.  Two series were played in the format where the first two games were played in the same week, with second games Thursday.  Jasmine Thomas and Riga needed a win at home to force a deciding game, but Amanda Zahui B and Fenerbahce coasted to an 88-65 win.  Lattes Montpellier was closer to preventing a sweep, but Gabby Williams proved to be too much for them in Sopron’s 72-65.

The quarterfinals started with three games on Tuesday.  Riga had thought that they were eliminated from the competition only to get one of the spots that opened up, but there was no upset to be had in the first game as they fell to Fenerbahce 77-56.  USK Praha was given homecourt advantage as a result of the change in teams, but they found themselves with their hands full against Schio, before rallying late to prevail 72-70.  Sopron won their opener against Lattes Montpellier 60-42.  The other team that was added back to the competition was Girona, which faced their league rivals Avenida on Wednesday and lost 77-63.
