Catching up with Chevakata
- Buckeye Jessica Davenport & her current squad Chevakata (of Russia) have had a great run in the Eurocup tournament, and are now one of 4 teams vying for the title. . The Eurocup is a high level European competition with several clubs from various countries.

Conquering Nantes - Chevakata marched through the tournament with little resistance until the quarterfinals matchup with Nantes. The club from the French League pulled the home upset on Chevakata by a score of 83-70 in leg one of the two game series.

A FIBA two game home/away series is decided on the accumulative score of both games. So having lost by 13 in game one, Chevakata needed to beat Nantes by 14 points or more in the return matchup in Russia. 14 points..that seems like a tall order right? Well not for Jessica Davenport because she dropped 29 big points, and grabbed 10 rebounds in a glorious 92-72 twenty point victory..helping her squad advance to the Eurocup final four!

The Next Challenge (Semi - Finals) Chevakata is currently matched up with yet another French team in the Semis, Arras. Arras has a talented roster that features Leilani Mitchell & Pauline Akonga. It looked like Davenport & Chevakata were on their way to a big victory in game one, but Arras erased an eleven point deficit & ended up winning by one point (67-66)

3.3.2011 - Chevakata (Russia) vs Arras (France) Eurocup Semi - Finals Game Two!

Chevakata enters game two of the Semis with the Eurocup Finals at arms reach! The game one loss in France was disappointing of course, but they were only defeated by one point! All they have to do is beat Arras at home by 2 points, and they are in the finals. The game is on Thursday March 3rd, good luck Chevakata..four solid quarters!
