Play-Off Round 1 Second Leg Top Performers: Burke, Mununga, Toure, Uro-Nile, Gatling

MUNICH (Germany) - Kennedy Burke was red-hot in the Play-Off Round 1 Second Leg as she put Villeneuve D'Ascq LM on her back and into the Round of 16 with an epic display that sees her crowned Top Performer.

Trailing London Lions by six points from the first game, Villeneuve needed someone to help them erase that deficit and Burke stepped up big time to get the job done by starring in a 77-64 success. Proving a handful for the Lions defense, she corralled 34 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals in an MVP performance. 

There are few more in-form players in the competition now than Bethy Mununga who dropped another towering display for ACS Sepsi-Sic. For the second time in a week she amassed a sparkling and power-packed double-double, picking up 22 points and 14 boards, plus 4 steals in a 90-44 victory.

Markeisha Gatling was a rock for Casademont Zaragoza as they eased out Nesibe Aydin 72-67 and by just six points on aggregate to advance. The forward weighed in with 19 points and 10 rebounds.

Castors Braine completed a double against OGM Ormanspor to progress and Miriam Uro-Nile did the business in an 82-71 success in Turkey. The Ukrainian posted an efficient 22 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists as the Belgian team celebrated making the next phase.

Mamignan Toure proved to be the go-to player for BLMA as they overturned first leg arrears of 16 points to capture a superb 96-66 win at home to Crvena Zvezda MTS. The guard was on excellent form and finished with 23 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists.
