Black Frogs Schieren, 2nd in the table and up one place after this round, beat 7th-placed Kordall Steelers 66-51 in Schieren and stretched their current run to 11 straight wins.
The game was still balanced after one quarter at 19-17. Kordall briefly led 9-7, with Alisha Staar (Season PPG: 11.47) already active, but Schieren answered well through Marie Palma (Season PPG: 12.25) and Eve Weber (Season PPG: 13.19). The key break came in the second quarter: coach Diogo Jesus Lopes' team won it 18-7. From 26-21, Schieren closed the half on an 11-3 run, helped by Elisa Thill (Season PPG: 15.20), the 1.80m guard, and by extra possessions created through Kordall fouls.
Schieren then opened the third quarter with five unanswered points for a 42-24 lead, their biggest advantage of the evening. Kordall reacted through Staar, Julie Secco (Season PPG: 4.62) and Laetitia Soares (Season PPG: 14.73), cutting it to 48-39. That was an important moment, but Weber stopped the momentum with two consecutive three-pointers for 54-39. In the last quarter, Kordall got as close as 63-51, mainly behind Staar's pressure, before Sonia El Hammiri (Season PPG: 9.44) finished the job inside and at the line.
Weber was the game's main scorer with 25 points, including 7 three-pointers. Thill added 13, Palma 12, and El Hammiri 7. For Kordall, Staar led with 18, Soares had 9, and Secco 8. Sarah Macri (Season PPG: 10.11) picked up two fouls in quick succession in the second quarter and later fouled out, which reduced Kordall's depth during its comeback attempts.
