Black Frogs Schieren controlled their W-U19 Division 3 trip to Beggen, beating Zesummen Aktiv 61-26 after a start-to-finish performance built on defense and repeated scoring runs. The visitors led 15-2 after the first quarter, closing the period with 9 straight points from Ana Margarida Resende Cerqueira (17, PRT), including a triple.
ZAK briefly rallied at the start of the second quarter with a 6-0 burst (Ries, Skrobek, Brücklacher) to 8-15, but FRO answered with a 10-0 run through Hansen and Resende Cerqueira, plus Ilieva, to restore a 25-8 cushion at halftime. Out of the break, Yana Ferreira hit two quick baskets, and FRO strung together a 16-2 surge to 41-10, effectively deciding the game. The visitors' highest lead reached +37 at 61-24.
Under coach Diogo Jesus Lopes, FRO spread the scoring: Resende Cerqueira led with 19, Kathrine Hansen added 12 (including a 4-point mini-run in Q3), Joana Goncalves Teixeira (17, PRT) had 11 with 3 free throws in the second half, and Ferreira scored 10. Diliana Ilieva (16, BGR) chipped in 6, while Jolina Kluckers registered her first point from the line.
For ZAK, Helena Maria Skrobek (29, DEU) was the main option with 8, supported by Laurence Kirchen and Annick Ries with 4 each, and Katia Axmann also on 4. ZAK's best stretches came early in Q2 and mid-Q3, but repeated personal fouls on Kirchen and Manon Durbach (three each) and a low first quarter set them back. Coach Francine Muller-Malherbe used three timeouts (6th minute Q1, 7th and 9th minutes after halftime) to steady the group.
In the standings, FRO sit 2nd at 4-1 and extend their winning streak to three games; ZAK fall to 5th at 1-4.
