The French side did take the lead in Q1 through Pauline Bracq but Emily Dark and Katherine Holdgate turned things around before half-time and Holdgate made the game safe in the 57th minute.
Hosts Rakovnik bounced back from two tough games to beat Rotweiss Wettingen 2-0 and finish in the third place in group.
In Pool A, Loreto were too strong for SG Amsicora with Caitlin Sherin getting a hat trick of set pieces in a 5-1 win.

In Pool B, Swarek Swarzędz got in position to advance when they beat Europa 1-0 with a Marta Czujewicz goal.
