Tournament hosts Crvena Zvezda competed impressively in the early stages, but as the game unfolded, Olympiacos wore them down, with forward Megan Gustafson proving too hot to handle for the home defense. She was the standout of the contest and finished with 25 points and 5 rebounds.
Anna Stamolamprou also excelled from the backcourt, with her quickness and smart finishing contributing to 19 points, while fellow guard Angeliki Nikolopoulou handed out a super 13 assists.
The result means that KKZ Crvena Zvezda and ACS Sepsi-SIC will now switch to play in the EuroCup Women Regular Season, along with Botas SK and Elizur Ramla.

Five players posted double-digit scoring returns for the Israeli club, with Tyrone Mosby the pick after accumulating 17 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists.
