25 points from a 12 on 13 shots and 1 on 1 free throw. Add 8 rebounds and 1 assist to that and Emma Meesseman delivered another stunning performance on the ninth match day in group B of the Euroleague Women. The Belgian Cat, including American superstar Breanna Stewart (30 points, 17 rebounds) and Ukraine-born Alina Iagupova (19 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists), led Fenerbahce Istanbul after a 47-40 bonus halfway to a 91-71 victory vs Hungarian side Szekszard. With 7 out of 9, the Turkish team remains leader in group A.
