First-placed Gréngewald Hueschtert beat fourth-placed BBC East Side Pirates 84-65 in Berbourg and completed a 2-0 season sweep over BEP. Coach Andrea Haris' side also extended its winning run to 19 games.
GRE imposed itself early with an 8-0 start, mainly through 17-year-old 1.85m Czech center Barbora Buzasi (Season PPG: 19.15). BEP reacted well. Nina Schmit (Season PPG: 9.14) buried three first-quarter triples, while Lea Christmann (Season PPG: 13.00) gave support around the basket and from outside, and the home team stayed close at 23-24 after one quarter.
The second period remained competitive. GRE went from 24-23 to 32-23, but BEP answered with a 9-0 run to tie at 32-32. The visitors then regained control before the break, with Buzasi and Lavinia Strelen (Season PPG: 6.05) helping create a 42-37 halftime edge.
BEP still threatened after the pause and cut the gap to 43-45. That was a key moment, because GRE answered immediately. Buzasi, Dorkas Von Arx (Season PPG: 10.65) and Strelen pushed the visitors back in front by eight, 59-51, at the end of the third.
The last quarter decided the game clearly. From 58-65, GRE produced a 9-0 run to open 58-74, and the lead later reached 19. Buzasi led all scorers with 30 points, with Von Arx adding 16, Strelen 14 and Maé Manti (Season PPG: 11.62) 12. For BEP, Christmann scored 14, Schmit 12, Jennifer Ferring (Season PPG: 10.36) 11 and Denise Kirsche (Season PPG: 9.26) 9. Lynn Frank (Season PPG: 11.62) fouled out in the fourth quarter.
