Match Overview

The first quarter was competitive, with Alte Kanti Aarau using home energy to stay within striking distance. Baden led 18-15 after ten minutes, then extended the margin to 36-29 at halftime. The third quarter is where the game turned: Baden opened with a 12-2 run, forcing Aarau into turnovers and rushed shots. By the end of the third, the lead had ballooned to 58-42, and the final quarter was largely about maintaining intensity and closing out the win.

Key Moments

• Third-quarter explosion: Baden's 12-2 run to start the second half turned a seven-point lead into a 17-point cushion.
• Defensive stand: Aarau went nearly four minutes without a field goal midway through the third, allowing Baden to pull away.
• Fourth-quarter poise: Whenever Aarau trimmed the deficit to 12, Baden answered with a three or a fast-break layup.
• Bench contribution: Baden's reserves added 22 points, outscoring Aarau's bench by 10.

Tactical Story

Baden's game plan focused on interior defense and transition offense. They collapsed on Aarau's post touches, forced kick-out passes, and then ran the floor when rebounds were secured. Offensively, Baden used high ball screens to create driving lanes, with guards penetrating and either finishing or finding open shooters in the corners.

Alte Kanti Aarau struggled with consistency in the half court. Their half-court sets often ended in contested jumpers, and they managed only 11 assists as a team. Baden's switching defense disrupted Aarau's rhythm, and the hosts never found a reliable second scorer to complement their early production.

Standout Players

• Lena Müller (Baden Women): 20 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists. She controlled the game from the wing and hit timely shots.
• Sara Keller (Baden Women): 14 points, 6 rebounds, 4 steals. Her defensive energy sparked the decisive third-quarter run.
• Nina Graf (Baden Women): 11 points, 7 rebounds. A steady presence inside on both ends.
• Lea Fischer (Alte Kanti Aarau Women): 15 points, 5 rebounds. One of the few bright spots for the hosts.
• Anna Weber (Alte Kanti Aarau Women): 10 points, 4 assists. She kept Aarau organized in the backcourt.
