DBBL Round 3 (Regular Season): Marburg lose their first game against Halle

After 3 rounds played we can already see who rules in the DBBL and who belongs to weaker ones. Here is the last round review presented by LBM Management.

The most surprising game was a loss of Marburg (2-1) on the court of Halle on Sunday night. Visitors were defeated by Halle 81-66. It was a great evening for American-Austrian power forward Alexia Allesch (185-1998, college: Seton Hall) who led her team to a victory with a double-double by scoring 20 points and 15 rebounds. American guard Lee Volker (180-2003, college: Marquette) helped adding 26 points. The best for the losing side was Slovenian Lea Debeljak (176-2001, agency: LBM Management) with 25 points. Both coaches used bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Halle is looking forward to face Herner (#7) at home in the next round which should be theoretically an easy game. Marburg will play against Keltern (#1) in Remchingen and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
Very significant was Freiburg's (#8) 75-62 road victory against Noerdlingen. Americans were the main players on the court. It was an exceptional evening for forward Eboni Walker (183-2001, college: Ohio St.) who led the winners and scored 25 points and 8 rebounds. Abby Prohaska accounted for 22 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists. Swingman Makiyah Williams (183-2002, college: UIC) came up with 23 points and 6 rebounds for Angels in the defeat. Both coaches tested many bench players and allowed the starting five to rest. Freiburg will play against ALBA Berlin (#5) at home in the next round. Noerdlingen will play against Saarlouis to get more than just one victory in their record.
Very important is a road loss of Royals (1-2) against ALBA (2-1) on Sunday night. Visiting Royals were defeated by ALBA in Berlin 89-73. The best player for the winners was Fanta Gassama who scored 18 points and 7 rebounds. ALBA's coach Cristo Cabrera used entire bench saving starting five for next games. At the other side the best for losing team was Emma Eichmeyer who recorded 15 points and 4 assists. ALBA will meet Freiburg (#3) on the road in the next round, which may be the game of the day. Royals will play against Noerdlingen and it may be a tough game between close rivals.

In the last two games of round 3 Hannover lost to Herner on the opponent's court 60-71. Osnabrueck lost to defending champion Keltern in a home game 60-64.
