All three series concluded on Wednesday to determine the last three teams to qualify for the regular season. In Miskolc, London Lions cut into the deficit early, but DVTK pushed the margin back out in the second half and good games from Holly Winterburn and Megan Gustafson got the visitors a 73-72 win, but still left them short 135-121. It was much closer in Riga, but Ellen Nystrom provided the scoring and Morgan Green dished out the assists so that Sepsi could hold on to a 63-62 win and progress 122-116. The last series was the one that started with the closest margin, but Polkowice quickly turned their single point lead into something more substantive and eventually the biggest margin, knocking out Besiktas 136-121.
