For Challes Martina Luptakova-Gyurcsi was the top player with 24 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals.
But Kirby Copeland led the scoring with 27 points. Yet she missed the player of the match award because of her 8 turnovers.
However the third French club Mondeville that travelled to Turkey lost (53-72) Galatasaray.
So far nothing has gone right for the club, neither in domestic nor in European matches. Without Ingrid Tanqueray and Nora El Gargati they did their best with a reduced roster under their new head coach Hervey Coudray.
Mondeville trailed (28-33) going into the interval. After suffering a 10-0 run and also and 11-0 run in the third period they were not able to come back.
