SPLIT (Interstat) — Sibenik will put its unbeaten record on the line Saturday when it visits Split for a women’s professional basketball game. Sibenik is 4-0 this season, while Split is 2-2 and will try to use home court to slow the visiting side’s momentum.

Sibenik has been productive throughout its perfect start. Its most recent result was a 103-60 home win over Medvescak. Andjela Strize finished with 18 points, six rebounds and seven assists in that victory, while Masa Kaucic added 18 points and seven rebounds and Ivana Ujevic had 14 points, seven rebounds and three assists. Sibenik also has beaten Zadar, Brod na Savi and Rijeka this season. The wins over Zadar, Brod na Savi and Rijeka came by scores of 93-69, 84-76 and 78-60, respectively. Sibenik has scored at least 78 points in each of its four wins. Strize, the player to watch for Sibenik, has been consistent and versatile. She had 18 points, six rebounds and seven assists against Medvescak, 16 points, nine rebounds and 10 assists at Zadar, 23 points and eight rebounds against Brod na Savi, and 15 points, five rebounds and four assists at Rijeka. Her scoring and playmaking have helped Sibenik remain unbeaten.

Split enters after an 85-55 loss at Tresnjevka in its most recent game. Katarina Trehub led Split in that game with 15 points, nine rebounds, four assists and one block, while Shaulana Wagner added 12 points, five rebounds and seven assists. D Mya Ferguson also had 10 points and five rebounds. Trehub is the player to watch for Split and has been the team’s central force. She had 37 points, 22 rebounds, two assists and one block in a win over Zadar Plus and 24 points, eight rebounds and three assists in a loss at Ragusa. Split has also beaten Pozega and lost to Tresnjevka and Ragusa this season, leaving the home side searching for consistency against the league’s top unbeaten team. Split has scored 76 or more points in both of its wins but has been held to 68 and 55 in its losses.

Sibenik’s depth and balanced scoring will test a Split defense that has had uneven results. Split’s best path will be through Trehub inside and on the glass, while Sibenik will aim to control tempo and keep Strize involved early. Sibenik has several options beyond Strize, including Kaucic and Ujevic, who were productive in the most recent win. Split will need contributions from Wagner and Ferguson to support Trehub. The matchup pits Sibenik’s perfect start against a Split team hoping to protect its home floor.
