Black Frogs Schieren C beat Mambra Mamer C 72-64 in Mamer, controlling the middle of the game and withstanding the hosts' late push. The opening quarter was balanced (14-15), then the visitors flipped the script with a decisive 21-7 second period to lead 21-36 at half. The key stretch was a 12-0 burst from 16-17 to 16-29, sparked by Daniel Freichel (31, 1.90m) and supported by Jaylson Ribeiro-Goncalves and Angelo Possing. That run built the platform and proved the difference.
Coach Faton Agolli's side answered after the break: Tom Kayser (Season PPG: 11.78) and Federico Burcovich (Season PPG: 17.29) trimmed the gap to 42-49 after three quarters, with Burcovich carrying the offense in the third (two trips to the line and two field goals in a short span). Early in the fourth Mamer came within five (44-49, then 45-49), but Black Frogs found timely shots. Freichel kept scoring inside, Ricardo Peres Dias hit a vital three for 47-56, and Noah Michels (Season PPG: 8.71) added another from deep for 56-65 to steady Coach Jerry Valente's group. The largest lead was +15 at halftime; Mamer never got closer than five in the fourth.
Freichel led all scorers with 27, built on repeated trips to the line (9) and strong finishing (9 twos). Michels added 14, Valente 9, Ribeiro-Goncalves 10, and Possing chipped in 5. For Mamer, Kayser posted 19 (mix of twos, a pair of threes and free throws), Burcovich 14, Cédric Bellot (Season PPG: 13.67) 11, and Moussa Badji (Season PPG: 6.40) 8. Raymond Magloire (Season PPG: 9.14) fouled out late, thinning the hosts' frontcourt in closing minutes.
In form terms, Mamer's four-game winning run ended, yet they remain top of the classification (6-3). Black Frogs climb to fifth (5-4) with this away win. Coach Valente's crew managed the critical moments, particularly that second-quarter 12-0 surge and the fourth-quarter perimeter answers.
