Spartak Sweep Dynamo Moscow

Russia international Tatiana Shchegoleva led a balanced scoring attack with 19 points as Spartak Moscow Region tore apart Dynamo Moscow 98-58 to reach the EuroLeague Women Final Four.

Natalia Hejkova's team, who beat Ros Casares in last year's final, needed just two games to finish off Dynamo who had to play without FIBA Europe Women's Player of the Year Anete Jekabsone-Zogota.
