Turner stars for Sopron; top four in Group A all win

MUNICH (FIBA EuroLeague Women) - Yvonne Turner produced her third 30-point game of the season to help lead Uniqa Sopron to victory on Wednesday.

The American netted 34 points on 11-of-17 shooting and grabbed four steals to lift her side to a 76-64 success - their fourth - against CCC Polkowice.

"We built the basis of our victory in the first half when we played with a lot of energy and as a team on defense and offense," said Turner.

The visitors were paced by Isabelle Harrison's 26 points and 12 rebounds, but they remain winless following an eighth consecutive defeat.

In contrast, Dynamo Kursk are now a perfect 8-from-8 in Group A after continuing their winning run with a comfortable 96-59 success over Wisla Can-Pack.

Nnemkadi Ogwumike led the way with 21 points and 9 rebounds, while Maria Vadeeva added a double-double of 10 points and 13 boards in less than 20 minutes of action.

Meanwhile, Fenerbahce remain their closest rivals in the group after improving to 7-1 with a 77-64 victory against Famila Schio.

Sandrine Gruda top-scored with 17 points as the side from Turkey did their damage in the first half.

Another double-double on the night went to Sonja Petrovic after her 14 points and 14 rebounds helped ZVVZ USK Prague ease their way to an 83-56 win against Uni Gyor.

A total of five players reached double figures with a team-high 16 points for Kia Vaughn, while Laia Palau dished out 9 assists in the win.

BLMA ensured they did not lose any ground on the top three in Group A after beating Mersin 76-63 behind 18 points and 9 rebounds from Geraldine Robert.

The final game of the night saw Bourges defeat their French rivals ESBVA-LM 63-42, with Paoline Salagnac contributing 13 points and 5 assists, to take their record to 4-4.
