Baumholder, the defending European Division III champion, gave every indication it’s capable of repeating with a 49-17 road victory over Hohenfels.

The deep and talented Lady Bucs, led by the sophomore All-Europe duo of Veronne Clark and Elizabeth Styles, opened their season Friday by taking a 20-2 first-quarter lead over one of the two D-III clubs they’ll face during the regular season and expanding it to 35-4 at halftime.

Clark and Styles ended their limited time on the floor with eight points each. Styles made six steals, and Jasmine Thompson and DonTaya Powers each grabbed 11 rebounds for Baumholder. Erica Nash led Hohenfels with 10 points.

The teams were to play again Saturday, but the game was canceled when the officials were involved in a car accident that prevented them from arriving, Hohenfels coach Joyce Dusenberry said.
