EcoNet Varaždin - VAR 68, ŽKK Orka - ORK 52: Varaždin's early onslaught decides LWB U15 clash
In a telling display of offensive intensity, EcoNet Varaždin ran out to a lead they never relinquished and defeated ŽKK Orka 68–52 in the LWB U15 on 15 March 2026 at OŠ Ante Kovačića. The result — scored in the 2025/26 season — was shaped by a blistering opening quarter and efficient finishing from the visitors.
The game was effectively decided in the first period, when the scoreboard read 32–10 after ten minutes. Varaždin added steady offense through the second and third quarters (15 and 14 points respectively) to maintain control, while Orka mounted a spirited response in the fourth, outscoring their opponent 21–7 but ultimately unable to erase the early deficit. Quarter breakdown: ŽKK Orka – 10, 10, 11, 21; EcoNet Varaždin – 32, 15, 14, 7.
Pavičić Klara was the obvious leader for the winners, pouring in 22 points on 9-of-17 shooting (7/10 two-pointers, 2/7 triples) and a perfect 2-for-2 at the line. Her scoring came at regular intervals, including a pair of triples and key baskets that sustained the margin through the middle quarters. Supporting her attack, Budimir Dora finished with 18 points (7/14 FGs, 2/6 from deep) and helped keep the pressure on the opponent, while Pevec Una Beata contributed 15 points and a timely third-quarter three that halted a budding comeback.
For ŽKK Orka, Gnjidić Iva was the focal point of the late surge — she finished with 19 points on an efficient 9-of-12 from the floor and pulled down eight rebounds. Her efforts sparked the 21-point outburst in the fourth, but the deficit produced in the opening period proved too large to overcome. Bračun Bela added double figures as well, chipping in 12 points and hitting free throws that helped keep Orka within reach in the latter stages.
Key moments: a dominant 32-point opening quarter set the tone; sustained scoring by Pavičić Klara and shotmaking from Budimir Dora and Pevec Una Beata kept Varaždin in front; a late triple from Posavec Korina closed out the scoring margin. Final line: EcoNet Varaždin 68, ŽKK Orka 52.
