Kordall stayed in touch behind outside shooting and trailed 41-33 at the break.
The third quarter swung both ways. Sarah Macri (37, 1.75m, Forward) opened with a triple to bring Kordall within five, but Schieren responded decisively: Marie Palma (22, 1.70m, FRA, Guard) drilled back-to-back threes and Eve Weber added another for 53-45 at the end of the period. Early in Q3 Weber received an unsportsmanlike foul, yet answered with seven quick points to steady the hosts.
Kordall made their final push in the fourth. Léna Wantz scored twice inside, Laetitia Soares kept pressure on from the line and rim, and a pair of late threes by Julie Secco and Kim Hurt produced a 6-0 burst to tie it 62-62. With the game on the line, Lena Ehmann delivered the winner's plays: a go-ahead basket and two free throws in the final minute to secure the 66-62 result for Black Frogs. Schieren had to finish without Sonia El Hammiri, who fouled out in the fourth.
Palma led Schieren with 21 points, Weber added 20 (three triples, five free throws), and Ehmann chipped in 9 including the decisive four points. For Kordall, Macri scored 19 with four threes, Secco had 13 (three triples), Soares 13, and Audrey Guyot (35, FRA) 8. Kordall's starting five produced 58 of the team's 62 points.
