After the other group was played last week, this group got underway in Medellin, Colombia on Thursday. The other Colombian team Bucaros played in the first game and had the two biggest name imports, but it took until late for them to edge Agustina Marin and Berazategui of Argentina. Host Antioquia welcomed Ecuador’s Union Deportiva Juvenil and built a lead going into halftime for a 66-49 win.

The first game on Saturday was a formality as UDJ could not pick up a win in their final game. Bucaros had already qualified, but still showcased their two big names Kai James and Shay Murphy in a 94-61 win. That set the stage for the game that would determine the last team to advance to the next stage and Berazategui had the lead early, but Jenifer Munoz and hosts Antioquia had the better of the second half to win 58-52 and put two Colombian teams through instead of making one semifinal an all-Argentine affair.
