Gréngewald Hueschtert overpowered Black Frogs Schieren 84-50 in Oberanven, avenging September's 41-68 loss. Andrea Haris' team seized control immediately: Barbora Buzasi (Season PPG: 18.17; 17, CZE) poured in 12 first-quarter points, with Dorkas von Arx and Leisha Burridge supporting for a 22-10 start.
The hosts broke it open in the second. After Maé Manti's triple, Gréngewald strung together a 10-0 run from 31-18 to 41-18 Buzasi hit three straight baskets and von Arx added free throws before closing the half 48-21 on a Burridge three and von Arx inside. FRO's half featured three unsportsmanlike fouls (Eve Weber, Melissa Pelladeau, Marie Palma), repeatedly stalling momentum. Manti calmly knocked down four free throws in a row late in the period.
Diogo Jesus Lopes' side reacted after the break: Lena Ehmann (Season PPG: 8.38) sparked an 8-2 spurt to 50-29, but Jill Neuens answered from deep and Buzasi steadied things at the line for 65-37 after three. In the fourth, Gréngewald pushed the gap to a game-high +37 (84-47), Buzasi closing with five consecutive points for the hosts.
