MUNICH (EuroCup Women) – There was no stopping Jennifer O'Neill on Wednesday night, as the Artego Bydgoszcz point guard scored a season-high 32 points to lead her team to an 88-81 win at Sparta&K M.R. Vidnoje.

There was no shortage of impressive guard performances, as Sharnee Zoll-Norman continued her sparkling form to make the Top Performers lineup for a second consecutive week.
Having gone scoreless in the first half, Zoll-Norman spearheaded Sleza Wroclaw's second-half comeback against Istanbul Universitesi, the Polish side prevailing 67-58 to remain undefeated. The American guard finished the game with an all-round 16 points, 13 assists, 7 rebounds and 5 steals, culminating in an efficiency of 34.
Latvia international Ieva Krastina was no less impressive in TTT Riga's 78-72 win at Olympiacos, as she made a red-hot 6-of-9 threes on her way to a team-high 22 points, adding 9 assists and 5 rebounds to her stat line.
Like Wroclaw and Riga, Virtus Eirene Ragusa also stayed perfect halfway through the Regular Season, their latest win coming on the road against Basketball Nymburk, 74-58. Dearica Hamby showed her class with a 28-point, 10-rebound double-double, shooting an efficient 11-of-16 from the field.
The frontcourt is completed by TSV 1880 Wasserburg center Rebecca Tobin who recorded an efficiency of 32 behind 18 points, 13 rebounds and 4 assists. However, her efforts were not rewarded, as her team suffered a tight 59-56 loss at Elfic Fribourg.
