VIENNA (Interstat)—The Vienna T-Wolves will host UBSC-DBBC Graz on Friday in a women’s professional basketball game between two teams still seeking their first victory of the season.

Both teams enter with 0-2 records. The T-Wolves will try to use home court to spark their offense, while UBSC-DBBC Graz will look for a road breakthrough. The matchup features two early-season players to watch in Vienna T-Wolves player Sophie Kunert and UBSC-DBBC Graz player Uma Bobic.

Bobic has been productive for UBSC-DBBC Graz. In her most recent game, she recorded 15 points, 10 rebounds and one assist in 33 minutes. In an earlier outing, she had four points, five rebounds and two assists in 11 minutes. Her rebounding and interior scoring are expected to be important for the visitors.

Kunert has served as a primary option for Vienna T-Wolves. In the team’s most recent game, she scored 22 points and added six rebounds and one assist in 34 minutes. Her ability to create offense will be central to the T-Wolves’ attack.

UBSC-DBBC Graz enters after a road loss in its most recent contest. The Graz side fell 87-66, with Bobic posting 15 points and 10 rebounds. Francesca Bucchieri added 17 points and four rebounds, while Dierry Sow contributed nine points, five rebounds, two assists and one block. In its other game this season, UBSC-DBBC Graz dropped a 78-67 decision at home against Linz.

Vienna T-Wolves also are coming off a home defeat. They lost 56-51 to Klosterneuburg in their most recent game. Kunert led the way with 22 points, six rebounds and one assist. Sigi Koizar added eight points, 10 rebounds and five assists, and Petra Pammer had nine points, six rebounds and two blocks. Earlier this season, Vienna T-Wolves lost 62-53 at Vienna Flames.

Both teams will try to establish consistency on both ends. UBSC-DBBC Graz will lean on Bobic and Bucchieri to carry scoring and rebounding responsibilities. Vienna T-Wolves will counter with Kunert’s scoring and Koizar’s all-around play, including her passing and work on the boards.
