Gréngewald Hueschtert opened the W-U22 qualifications with a clear 97-61 home win over Musel Pikes and moved to 1st place, a gain of three positions. Musel dropped one place to 2nd.
The game was decided very early. Gréngewald started 16-2 and already led 33-14 after the first quarter. Coach Andrea Haris' team had scoring punch from several players and kept adding pressure in the second period, stretching the margin to 59-31 at halftime.
The third quarter was the key break. After Musel had cut nothing from the gap, Gréngewald controlled the paint and the rhythm, winning the period 21-7. At 63-31, Musel captain Nanda Kleuls (17, 1.73m) was charged with a disqualifying foul, and the visitors never recovered from that phase. The home side later reached its highest lead at 97-54 before Musel finished with 7 points in a row to make the last quarter more respectable.
Dorkas Von Arx (18, 1.80m) led Gréngewald with 18 points, while Lavinia Strelen (19, 1.87m, DEU) added 15 and had an excellent second quarter, including 8 straight team points. Célia Abessolo Minane (17, 1.70m, CMR) and captain Maé Manti (18, 1.60m) both scored 13, and Tereza Liska (18, 1.83m, SVK) finished with 12. Gréngewald had five players in double figures.
For Musel, Lara Degrott (17, 1.74m) scored 12, Kleuls had 11, and Marie Gloden (16, 1.80m) added 10. Musel's best offensive stretch came in the fourth quarter, which they won 23-17, but by then the gap was already too large.
