Black Frogs Schieren controlled their W-U19 Division 3 trip to Bettembourg, defeating Nitia 71-27 behind a steady build of runs and depth scoring. Schieren opened 6-0 and, after Nitia trimmed to 11-17 on first-quarter threes by Maëlle Schillings (Season PPG: 11.44) and Julie De Oliveira (Season PPG: 6.78), the game broke open in the second. Following Hanna Wiejak's basket to 13-17, Schieren delivered an 18-0 run driven repeatedly by the 17-year-old Ana Margarida Resende Cerqueira (19 pts; Season PPG: 20.75) to reach 13-35 before halftime.
After the break, Diogo Jesus Lopes' team started the third with an 8-0 burst and never looked back. Joana Gonçalves Teixeira (15 pts; Season PPG: 7.71) scored back-to-back to launch the quarter and added another quick pair later, while Yana Ferreira (13 pts; Season PPG: 13.75) stacked three field goals across the period and knocked down two late free throws in the fourth. Débora Teresa Dos Santos Kitumba (13) and Lara Boudler (9) added balance. Fourth-quarter threes from Gonçalves Teixeira and Resende Cerqueira closed the door, with the final margin 44 points also the highest lead.
Jérôme Defer's Nitia had bright moments from Wiejak (7) and Liselotte Eudier (7), plus a third-quarter triple by captain Jordane Pyee (Season PPG: 9.13). Schillings and De Oliveira also hit early from deep. Foul sequences hurt Nitia's rhythm: Schillings committed two P2 fouls in a row in the second quarter, and Eudier picked up two P2 fouls late in the fourth; Pyee had two quick early infractions. No one fouled out.
Schieren remain top of the phase (4-0, 310-111) and extend their winning streak to seven games. Nitia sit fourth (1-3). This result mirrors the earlier season meeting (69-20 Schieren), confirming the visitors' grip on the matchup.
