Avanti Mondorf beat Black Frogs Schieren 70-57 in Mondorf, overturning a 31-35 halftime deficit with a strong, controlled second half. The visitors rode Eric Anderson's outside touch to lead after two quarters, but Mondorf recalibrated after the break and took over the game's rhythm.
Key swing came in the third. At 31-37, Mondorf pieced together a 13-2 run: Sven Bartholomey tied it at 39-39 with a three, Tim Bartholomey followed with another from deep for 42-39, and Uzziah Khalil Dawkins (Season PPG: 25.56, RPG: 7.45, AssPG: 2.64) kept attacking the lane. The fourth quarter opened at 46-45, then after a 50-50 tie, Mondorf delivered the winning sequence: Reuter's triple, four straight Dawkins free throws and a Tim Bartholomey corner three built a 10-0 burst to 60-50. The hosts' largest lead reached 68-53 before closing it out.
Dawkins (25, USA) authored 34 points and 10 rebounds in 40 minutes, scoring 19 after the break. He shot 13/22 on 2-pointers (good) and 5/7 at the line. Joseph Daniel Reuter (Season PPG: 21.33, RPG: 11.64, AssPG: 2.55) added 23 points, 14 rebounds and 0 turnovers, with 7/12 on 2s (good) and 2/4 from three (excellent). Tim Bartholomey hit two timely threes but later fouled out after picking up two quick first-quarter fouls in succession. Coach Philip David Dejworek's group won the defensive glass 32-24 and kept turnovers to 12.
For Schieren, Anderson (2.00m, USA, 26; Season PPG: 21.60, RPG: 11.00) posted 20 points and 13 rebounds, drilling 4/6 from three and 4/4 at the line (both excellent). Khyree Terell Armstead (Season PPG: 15.67) had 10 points and 5 steals but struggled from the field, while Leandro Rodrigues-Machado contributed 10 points with two threes. The visitors shot just 10/35 on 2-pointers (29%) and 13/24 at the stripe (54%), despite a 15-10 edge in offensive rebounds.
Mondorf climb to 7th (+1, 4-5). Schieren stay 3rd (7-3). The result snaps Schieren's five-game winning run, and gives Mondorf a bounce-back after their last defeat. Coach Nigel Tolentino's team led for long stretches, but Mondorf's 10-0 fourth-quarter punch decided a game that was still level at 50-50.
