Russia left no medal chances for hosts China in the third place game.

Spartak’s own Tatyana Shchegoleva, Irina Osipova and Marina Karpunina were all major contributors on the squad. Emerging as the team’s top choice in the paint, Osipova led the team in rebounding at 6.8 per game. Shchegoleva was one of the main offensive weapons, finishing second in scoring with 12.3 per game. Karpunina became one of the tournament’s best bench players.

After two seasons full of success and titles, WBC Spartak Moscow Region and Natalia Hejkova have parted ways. The reigning EuroLeague and Russian League Champions thank Coach Hejkova for all that she offered to us during these two years and wish her the best of luck and success in her next job wherever that may be. On behalf of the Club Shabtai Von Kalmanovic said: “Nata will always have a special place in our hearts and we will never forget that she was a major contributor in the creation as well as the establishment of this great Moscow Region team”.
