DBB women celebrate a clear win against Turkey: Let’s hope for the European Championship!

The German women’s national team took another step towards a medal at the FIBA ​​Women’s EuroBasket 2025. After a convincing victory over Turkey with 93:73, the DBB women celebrated their third success in the tournament. The crossover game for places 5-8 took place on June 29, 2025 and the German players showed from the start that they had their opponents firmly under control. Germany started strong with an early 7:2 lead, the Turkish team equalized once, but the DBB women were undeterred and led 23:15 after the first quarter. The halftime lead of 50:28 was particularly impressive.

The starting line-up was impressive: Alexandra Wilke, Leonie Fiebich, Emily Bessoir, Frieda Bühner and Luisa Geiselsöder got into the game well from the start. Alexis Peterson was out due to a minor injury, but that didn't affect the flow of the game. Jennifer Crowder ensured a comfortable atmosphere on the German bench with an early score of 25:15. In the final quarters, Turkey increased the pressure with 24 and 21 points, but the German girls' lead was unattainable.
