Zesummen Aktiv (ZAK) edged Rebound PRE 30-23 in Bettborn in a low-scoring W-U19 Division 3 game shaped by defense and timely runs. PRE opened 4-0, but Helena Skrobek strung together three baskets to flip it to 6-4, and ZAK closed the first quarter on a 10-2 surge behind three straight scores from Laurence Kirchen for 14-6 after 10 minutes.
PRE responded after the break between quarters: at 8-14, Coach MULLER-MALHERBE stopped the momentum with a timeout, and ZAK stretched it to 18-8. The hosts clawed back with free throws and a bucket from 16-year-old Celina Schmit (PRE) to 14-18, before Skrobek sent ZAK to the locker room up 20-14.
The third frame produced the key swing. PRE cut it to 17-20, then Cloë Bouille (PRE) buried the team's only three to make it 20-22. ZAK answered immediately: Skrobek and Kirchen combined for a 4-0 reply, and Kirchen pushed it to 26-20. Across the turn into the fourth, ZAK delivered an 8-1 spurt to reach their largest lead (30-20) and controlled the finish.
All 30 ZAK points came from two-pointers (no free throws, no threes), while PRE scored via 4 free throws and a single triple (Cloë Bouille). Skrobek (ZAK) dominated inside with 14 points (Season PPG: 3.03), navigating foul trouble (4 fouls, including two quick ones in the fourth). Kirchen added 10 (Season PPG: 3.03), and Mia Brucklacher chipped in 4. For PRE, Schmit (PRE) led with 7, Cloë Bouille (PRE) had 5, Zoë Bouille (PRE) 4, and Charlie Braun (PRE) 4.
Coach WEYER's timeouts at 4-4 (Q1) and 20-24 (Q3) sought to stem ZAK's runs, but ZAK's early first-quarter burst and the 8-1 bridge around the last break decided it. ZAK ends a three-game losing streak and sits 5th (1-3). PRE remains 6th (0-4).
