SCHIO (EuroLeague Women) – Beretta Famila Schio are off the mark in EuroLeague Women 2017 after they outlasted Cargo CMB Uni Gyor 77-65 in Group A.
In the only game to be played on Thursday after a packed night of action 24 hours earlier in the competition, it wasn't wholly convincing for the home side who were up against a club who remains winless across three seasons in European competition.

Indeed head coach Miguel Mendez looked continually frustrated with his players for allowing a resilient Gyor to hang around and remain in contention. Schio were needing to bounce back from their overtime defeat to Fenerbahce in their first outing of the new campaign and Endene Miyem chose a good time to produce her best performance so far in a Schio vest.
The French forward finished with 20 points and 10 rebounds, while her compatriot Isabelle Yacoubou was also on-song with an all-action 13 points, eight rebounds, four assists and three steals.
