Etzella arrive with two convincing victories from their opening league games. After winning 109–81 at Kordall, they defeated Racing 104–60 on Sunday. Philippe Gutenkauf and Travis Henson led the scoring with 26 points apiece. The quarter scores — 19–15, 34–23, 23–9 and 28–13 — show how Etzella took control in the second quarter and maintained it after the break.
