Amicale Steesel overpowered Black Frogs Schieren 92-36 in Steinsel, dictating the W-U19 Division 2 Phase finale game from tip to horn. The hosts burst to 28-6 after the first quarter, stringing a 12-0 run midway through the period. Coach Jesus Lopes Diogo tried to stem the tide with an early timeout, but Amicale kept pushing and reached halftime 56-14 after another wave led by Kathryn Jo Missavage.
Missavage (37 points), a 17-year-old, 1.80m forward/center, hit multiple threes in the second quarter and was omnipresent around the rim. After the break, Treyscha Boayue (27 points; Season PPG: 16.5) opened the third quarter with a personal tear, scoring 11 straight points for Amicale as the margin ballooned to a highest lead of +65 at 81-16. Captain Lily Wittwer (8; Season PPG: 21.55) and Kendra Leveling (13; Season PPG: 11.0) supplied steady scoring, while Zoë Quinn (4), an 18-year-old from DEU, had two quick fouls in the second quarter but contributed in the third.
Schieren's best phase came late, taking the fourth 20-11. Kathrine Hansen (12; Season PPG: 7.73) drilled two threes and knocked down three free throws in a row in the final period, while Ana Margarida Resende Cerqueira (8; Season PPG: 18.64) opened the quarter with a 2+3. Lara Boudler (6; Season PPG: 10.0) and Joana Goncalves Teixeira (6; Season PPG: 7.6) added points, though Goncalves Teixeira's foul immediately after a basket summed up a difficult night under pressure.
With Coach Paul Missavage's group moving to 2-0, Amicale climbs to first in the Phase finale standings. The result marks a third consecutive win for AMI. Black Frogs slide to 0-2 and fourth, now on a two-game skid after a long winning run earlier in the season.
