In what appears to be a Russian team inability to win on the road, Dynamo Moscow were lit up like a Christmas tree by French guard Anais Le Gluher Cano, who was 10 of 16 from the field and 5 from 5 from the freethrow line for a total of 27 points.

Group H
Homend Antakya appeared to have locked up the game by mid third quarter, before Rima Valentiene had the nerve to make four threepointers in the final four minutes of third and the first minute of fourth to bring Kibirkstis within 4 after having trailed by as much as 17. That angered Antakya who went on a romp to close out the game 32-9 in the final 9 minutes. Jolene Anderson had 22 points Antakya, with Shekinna Strickled adding 21.
Ruzomberok led throughout the first 25 or so minutes of the game, but were forced to admit their second defeat, this time at the hands of Elitzur Ramla. Shay Doron scored 14 of her game high 22 points in the final 15 minutes, which coincided with the period of the game in which Ramla had the lead.
