Tactical story

Freiburg’s defensive pressure was the defining feature of the contest.

Their guards did an excellent job of disrupting the Angels’ half-court sets, while the frontcourt protected the paint and contested shots without fouling excessively.

They found some success inside through offensive rebounds and post touches, but Freiburg’s ability to control the defensive glass in the closing stages proved decisive. On offense, Freiburg shared the ball well, finishing with 17 assists and consistently finding open shooters against the Angels’ rotating defense.

Standout players

Johanna Weber led Freiburg with 22 points, six rebounds, and five assists, controlling the pace of the game from the backcourt. Lea Fischer added 14 points and 11 rebounds, anchoring the interior on both ends, while Marie Keller contributed 12 points and three steals.

For TH Wohnbau Angels, Anna Schmidt top-scored with 18 points and six rebounds, and Laura Braun added 13 points. Mia Hoffmann chipped in 10 points, but the home side lacked the consistent outside shooting needed to fully erase Freiburg’s lead.

Season impact

The win gives Eisvogel Freiburg Women important momentum in the Damen Basketball Bundesliga and moves them into the upper half of the early standings. It also underlines their ability to win on the road against teams that rely on aggressive guard play. For the Angels, the result is a frustrating one, but the performance showed enough fight to suggest they can respond in their next outing. Freiburg will look to build on their defensive intensity, while the Angels will focus on improving their three-point shooting and reducing turnovers.
