SAMUELSON HUNTS HISTORY IN EURO FINAL

Karlie Samuelson will play for the EuroLeague Women title on Sunday night in Istanbul.

The Great Britain guard helped Spanish side Avenida Salamanca defeat Sopron 72-61 in Friday’s semis to tee up a grand finale against perennial Russian power, UMMC Ekaterinburg.

It was a one-shot game when Avenida set the tone for the fourth quarter with what proved to be a vital 10-3 run to finish the third.

Samuelson – who would become the first Brit to land a EuroLeague title – had five points and six rebounds with her sister Katie Lou, a USA international, adding 16 points.

Ekaterinburg are eying up a sixth EuroLeague Women title after squeezing past hosts Fenerbahce 88-84, led by WNBA MVP Breanna Stewart.
