EcoNet Varaždin surge past Falcons Zagreb in LWB U15

EcoNet Varaždin delivered a commanding 61-39 victory over Ženski košarkaški klub Falcons Zagreb in Round 4 of the LWB U15 season at OŠ Ante Kovačića. The game unfolded as a closely contested first quarter before Varaždin seized control with a decisive second half, turning a slim early margin into a comprehensive win.

The quarter-by-quarter line told the story: Falcons scored 14 in the opening period to Varaždin's 11, but the visitors responded with a 17-point second quarter to Falcon's 7, opening a gap that only widened thereafter (Q3: 14-9; Q4: 19-9).

The architect of Varaždin's offense was Budimir Dora, who finished with a game-high 27 points on 12-of-24 shooting (including 2-of-6 from long range) and pulled down six rebounds while adding an assist. Budimir Dora punctuated the turnaround with a string of timely baskets—her second-quarter 3-pointer and continued scoring in the third set the tone as Varaždin built separation.

Secondary scoring was well-distributed. Pavičić Klara contributed 12 points (5/9 FG, 2/5 3PT) and four rebounds, while Pevec Una Beata added 10 points and six rebounds, including a late 2-pointer and free throw that secured the final margin. Bajs Sofija hit both free throws in the fourth that helped extend the lead in the closing stages.

Falcons found bright spots despite the loss. Luketić Kim paced her side with 14 points (5/12, 3 triples) and an impressive 10 rebounds. Pekeljević Anja worked the glass relentlessly, finishing with 11 rebounds to go with six points. Perok Tea chipped in six points and four rebounds, keeping Falcons competitive at several points.

Varaždin's balanced attack and timely shooting prevented Falcons from sustaining momentum after the opening period. The visitors' effort to stretch the lead in the second quarter proved decisive, and they never relinquished control thereafter.

With this result Varaždin bolster their position in the LWB U15 table and will look to carry the same offensive cohesion forward. Falcons will need to regroup, shore up perimeter defense and find more consistent scoring options beyond their primary contributors.
