Overseas League Updates April 16th

EuroLeague Finals

Sunday was the final day of games and it was the bronze medal match first. USK Praha was hoping to win in front of the home fans, but Schio recovered after losing their lead with a dramatic Egle Sventoraite buzzer-beater for a 59-56 win. That set the stage for the final as Cukurova had the edge from their domestic matchups, but this would be the only opportunity for both teams to field all available players without local foreign player restrictions. Fenerbahce had plenty of recent heartbreak, but they made sure that there would be no doubt in this game, racing out to a massive lead for a record-setting performance on a number of levels with a 99-60 win behind Breanna Stewart.

Hungarian League April 15th-16th

Finals Game 1

Three series started on Saturday, starting with the best of five matchup for the championship. Aaryn Ellenberg-Wiley will need to be at her best for Gyor to have any chance at the upset, but her strong start was not enough in an 80-68 loss to Jelena Brooks and Sopron. The bronze medal series started with an excellent game as Arella Guirantes and DVTK had the better of the final quarter in Miskolc to defeat Szekszard 64-60. Vasas won on the road 77-62 over Franka Toth and BEAC to open the 7th place series. PEAC looks ready to capture the consolation championship after their 100-52 win over MTK on Sunday.

Playout Game 4

The second half of this extra double round-robin started on Saturday and Pecsi was looking forward to at least getting a win with the rest of the teams basically set in their finishing positions, but they could not get closer than 86-78 against Csata even with a good game from Nikolett Vincze. Szigetszentmiklos defeated Cegled 76-56 on Sunday.
