Baden secured a comprehensive 98-56 victory over Zurich Women in the SB League on Tuesday evening. The away side dominated from the opening tip, establishing control that the hosts could never challenge. The result extends Baden's winning streak and leaves Zurich searching for answers after a heavy defeat.
Baden arrived in Zurich with momentum, having won their previous three games. They started sharp, hitting their rhythm early and pulling away before the first quarter finished. Zurich's defence offered little resistance, and the visitors built an insurmountable lead within the opening period. The home side never got closer than 30 points throughout the match.
Zurich's recent form had suggested improvement, but this performance told a different story. They had beaten Pulli Women 100-80 on Saturday, only to suffer a 60-86 loss to Fribourg in their previous outing. This result suggests that inconsistency remains a problem rather than a solution.
Baden's position in third place now looks more secure with 13 wins from 21 games. Their recent run includes victories over Fribourg and Alte Cantone Aarau, showing they can handle both home and away fixtures. The eight defeats they have suffered this season are balanced by a winning record that keeps them in contention.
Zurich's defeat means they drop further from any European qualification places. The 42-point margin is one of the largest they have conceded this season. There are still games to play, but the gap to the teams above them widens with each loss.
