The Bulgarian bench
19-01-2009 19:38
Bulgaria scraped their first win in their final game of the EuroBasket Women Additional Qualifying Round by defeating Germany 67-66.
With Ukraine having already clinched top spot and sealed the only place on offer for the Final Round from Group A, the Bulgarians and Germans battled it out for pride and the hosts claimed victory by the narrowest of margins as Noelle Quinn poured in 16 points.
The game was knotted at 62-62 with 3'53'' remaining after a made jump shot by Germany's Katja Bavendam. Gergana Branzova-Erdenay replied with a jumper not long after for Bulgaria to put them back in front for good. That shot took Branzova's total to 15 points. Lea Mersch made certain the last 32 seconds would be interesting after scoring for Germany to close the gap to 67-66.
Bulgaria ran the clock all the way down to eight seconds but failed to score, and Germany got the ball back with one last chance to prevail. But Alexandra Müller was off target with a three-pointer for the Germans.
Bulgaria finished 1-3 while Germany ended up their Additional Qualifying Round at 2-2.
