    BOURGES (EuroLeague Women) - Alexandria Quigley stole the headlines on an exciting night of EuroLeague Women after hitting the game-winner for Galatasaray at Tango Bourges Basket.

    The fans at Le Prado were hoping to see Bourges take their opening victory at Le Prado, but the late intervention of Quigley was decisive in a 74-72 success. It was underpinned not only by Quigley's team-high 26 points, but 20 points from Gintare Petronyte in the paint. 

    One of the biggest stories of the night was DeWanna Bonner completing her much anticipated return from maternity leave as she posted a winning debut for ZVVZ USK Prague. They outpaced CCC Polkowice 72-66, with the Czech duo Alena Hanusova and Katerina Elhotova combining for 38 points.

    UMMC Ekaterinburg posted the perfect response to their critics for last week's loss in Salamanca as a dazzling 25-point haul from Brittney Griner took them to an impressive 79-70 triumph at Yakin Dogu Universitesi.

    Also in Istanbul, Fenerbahce reacted to their Week 2 loss in positive fashion as well. They took down BLMA 79-63 behind 20 points from Ana Dabovic.

    Dynamo Kursk collected their first road win to stay perfect as they overcame a gutsy display from Sopron Basket who dropped to their first loss. The visitors, who fielded Nnemkadi Ogwumike for the first time this season, won 88-74.

    There was also a first win on their travels this season for Beretta Famila Schio who recorded a stunning 76-46 win at Nadezhda. Jolene Anderson was central to the success with 13 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists.

    ESBVA-LM were left thanking Pauline Akonga Nsimbo for her massive contribution of 28 points and 8 boards as they won their derby with Castors Braine 81-71.

    Finally, Perfumerias Avenida dug themselves out of a hole to stay unbeaten as they moved to 3-0 with a hard-fought 62-57 win against Wisla CANPACK who are still waiting to get off the mark.
