Then with 2:22 to go, Daliborka Jokic made a jump shot and was fouled on the play, she converted the free throw for a three-point play.

Ballardini followed by burying a three-ball with 1:48 remaining to cap the surge and leave the Italian side in front at 72-66.

Caroline Aubert cut the deficit to four with a jumper, but the French side got no closer.

Point guard Marija Eric led five Faenza players in double figures with 17 points, while Lenae Williams scored a game-high 21 in defeat for USO Mondeville.

They have fallen to 1-4.
