Musel Pikes overpowered Black Frogs Schieren 88-30 in Dreiborn, dictating the W-U19 Division 2 Phase finale game from the first quarter and climbing to 2nd place in the standings (+2), now 2-1 in the round-robin. Schieren slipped to 3rd (-1, 1-3).
After a brief 2-4 deficit, Hannah Curridor (Season PPG: 14.38) flipped the start with 6 straight MUS points to 6-4. From 6-6, the hosts produced a 10-0 burst to 16-6 and closed Q1 at 23-13, despite a steady early contribution by Lara Boudler (Season PPG: 9.00). Coach Marc Hahnemann's side tightened further in Q2 (15-4), fueled by 14-year-old Zoé Freitas (MUS), who repeatedly found gaps in transition and half-court to stretch it to 38-17 at halftime.
The third quarter decided it. Sophie Beffort Neuman opened with a personal 7-point run, and Musel rained threes through Lilli Fischer, Julie Kayser (who drilled three triples after the break), Eve Engel and Giulia Piermatti (16, ITA), blowing the frame open 33-11 to 71-28. The hosts' highest lead stood at 58, matching the final margin.
Curridor led MUS with 17, supported by Freitas (12), Alessia Bidoli (12), Nanda Kleuls (11, 1.73m) and Fischer (8). For Schieren, Débora Teresa Dos Santos Kitumba (16, PRT) paced them with 11, Boudler added 9 but reached four fouls by the third quarter, and Yana Ferreira (Season PPG: 12.69) had 6. Coach Diogo Jesus Lopes called early timeouts (5' in Q1, 6' in Q2) to stem the tide, but Musel's depth and perimeter streaks in the second half kept the gap growing. Recent form notes Musel on a two-game winning run.
