MKB Euroleasing Sopron upset Rivas Ecópolis 71-67 in Spain on Thursday to strengthen their hopes of reaching the EuroLeague Women Last 16. Amber Holt scored 18 points and had the go-ahead three-ball with 1:46 remaining for the visitors from Hungary. That shot made it 68-67 in favor of Sopron. Petra Ujhelyi then turned the ball over on two of Rivas' next three possessions, and MKB Euroleasing sank three free-throws to seal the victory. Sopron improved to 4-5 and set up an interesting last week in Group C because Bourges and ZVVZ USK Prague are also 4-5. Rivas (7-2) have already clinched first place in Group C. They blew their chances on Thursday when making just 13 of 24 shots at the free-throw line. Crystal Langhorne finished with 19 points and nine rebounds for Rivas. |
