Gréngewald Hueschtert controlled BBC East Side Pirates 79-56 at Oberanven/Central, building steadily from a tight first quarter into a comfortable win. Early on, Maé Manti strung together five straight points (a layup and a three) to help the hosts edge the opening period 22-18. The game turned decisively in the second: from 24-20, Gréngewald closed the half on a 24-9 tear to lead 48-29, with Barbora Buzasi powering inside and Lisa Dadsi and Manti adding timely baskets. The momentum even bridged halftime; an 11-0 burst stretched the gap to 57-29 early in the third.
The Pirates mounted their best response behind Jennifer Ferring and Lynn Frank, and Lea Christmann buried a three as BEP took the third 20-15. Nina Schmit drew and converted free throws in succession, but her backtoback personals later in the quarter stalled the push. Early in the fourth, Schmit's triple cut it to 63-52, only for Manti to answer immediately from deep and Dorkas von Arx to finish at the rim, restoring a safe cushion. Gréngewald closed on a 9-1 run to their largest lead of 24 (79-55).
Under Andrea Haris, Gréngewald's balance stood out: Buzasi (21; Season PPG: 13.86; 17, 1.85m, CZE) anchored the paint, Manti (17; Season PPG: 9.0) added 17 with four triples, von Arx had 12 despite foul trouble, Leisha Burridge (Season PPG: 13.38) 12, and Dadsi 11. For Stephane Roger Said's Pirates, the core of Ferring (16; Season PPG: 9.55), Frank (10; Season PPG: 12.6) and Schmit (5; Season PPG: 7.55) was complemented by Christmann (15; 23, DEU) and Denise Kirsche (8; Season PPG: 10.55). Ferring and later Christmann scored in small bursts, but Gréngewald's runs were longer and better timed; Ferring also picked up two quick fouls early in the fourth.
In the standings, Gréngewald surge to 4th (+3) at 8-1 and are on a seven-game winning streak. BEP slip to 7th (-1) and have now dropped three straight.
