Black Frogs Schieren edged AB Contern B 50-48 after overtime in Schieren, a defensive battle decided by late shot-making. The first half stayed tight (18-17), opened by a Sophie Grivet triple for the visitors and balanced by inside answers from Lina Mischaux and Eve Weber for the hosts.
After the break, Schieren found their groove. Weber (Season PPG: 13.29) sparked the hosts with a burst of 2-2-3, and with help from Lena Ehmann they built the game's largest lead at 28-22, taking a 30-25 cushion into the fourth. Contern swung momentum with a 6-0 run early in the last quarter, capped by a wing three, to move 30-35. Coach JESUS LOPES Diogo stopped the bleeding, and Ehmann responded by scoring three straight baskets for a personal 6-0 that restored a 39-37 edge. Amélie Laure Sybertz (19, 1.82 m; Season PPG: 16.89) kept her composure at the line to level, but Melissa Genoud's timely three made it 42-41 before Sybertz forced overtime at 42-42.
OT seemed to tilt Contern's way: two Sybertz free throws and a Jessica Hommel basket pushed them 44-48 ahead. Then Schieren closed with six unanswered: Marie Palma (22, 1.70 m, France; Season PPG: 12.25) hit a big three while playing on four fouls, and Ehmann buried the game-winner from deep for 50-48. Contern's Anne Ludivig committed two quick fouls in the final seconds as they tried to stop the clock.
