Beretta Famila Schio travelled to France and beat Tarbes Gespe Bigorre on Wednesday for their third win in six EuroLeague Women games.
Cheryl Ford had 18 points and 15 rebounds for Schio in the 75-66 Group B triumph.
Behind 40-38 midway through the third quarter, Schio got back-to-back three-pointers from Laura Macchi and Maja Erkic.
They went on to score 11 straight points and stayed in front the rest of the way.
Tarbes, who have yet to win in the EuroLeague Women this season, pulled to within five points early in the fourth quarter but got no closer.
Maja Miljkovic had 12 points and three assists for Tarbes, who slumped to 0-6 in Group B.
Schio power forward Janel McCarville:
"Both teams played a good game. Every game is important in EuroLeague."
Schio head coach Maurizio LASI:
"It's very important to win in Tarbes. We played well inside, and took good shoots outside."
Tarbes head coach Pascal PISAN:
"We tried to develop strength; we were beaten by their inside power. It is difficult to play without Neaves and Krawzcyck."
Tarbes guard Maja MILJKOVIC:
"Good first time, it was difficult and they shot the ball very well. EuroLeague is a strong competition."
