Dora's 35 Propel EcoNet Varaždin to 57-42 Triumph over Team Kärnten

The LWB U15 fixture on 24 January produced a clear individual masterclass and a team performance that closed out the game when it mattered most. EcoNet Varaždin completed a 57-42 victory over Team Kärnten thanks largely to the dominant showing of Budimir Dora, whose 35-point, 11-rebound, 5-assist line carried the final margin.

The contest began with Team Kärnten asserting early pressure, with Woschank Louisa sparking an initial lead through several inside finishes. Varaždin answered steadily: a mid-first-quarter triple and a string of free throws from Budimir Dora helped flip momentum and set the tone for a tight first half. At the break the scoreboard reflected a narrow gap, but the pattern of the game was beginning to emerge — one prolific scorer matched by disciplined team play.

The third quarter featured back-and-forth bursts, with both sides trading baskets. Budimir Dora repeatedly finished plays through traffic and knocked down a big triple late in the period to rebuild separation. By the fourth quarter Varaždin's defense tightened; Team Kärnten managed just four points in the final period while Varaždin put up 13, sealing the outcome.

Statistically, Budimir Dora was irresistible: 14-of-24 from the field (including 2-of-3 from beyond the arc) and 11 rebounds made for a near-complete performance (efficiency 33). Supporting contributions came from Pavičić Klara, who chipped in key baskets including a late three, and Pevec Una Beata, who added steady scoring and free-throw points. For Team Kärnten, Woschank Louisa led the offense with 17 points and Liesinger Annika added 12 as they fought to keep the game within reach.

Quarter-by-quarter the match read 19-16, 6-6, 19-16 and 13-4 in favor of the winners — a sequence that underlines how an explosive opening, evenness in the middle, and a lockdown finish can combine into a convincing result. Tactical discipline on defense down the stretch and the scoring burden shouldered by Budimir Dora made the difference.

In sum, this was a game defined by a standout individual performance complemented by timely team execution. Varaždin’s ability to convert opportunities when the game tightened, and to stifle the opponent in the fourth, delivered a deserved win in the LWB U15 round.
