Kordall Steelers controlled their trip to Bettborn from the opening minutes, beating Rebound Préizerdaul 68-27 in W-U19 Division 3: Phase 2. After Kyara Teixeira Ribeiro opened for PRE, KDS uncorked a 20-0 run to seize a 24-3 first quarter, built on paint scoring from Lina Maz and Emma Kazic and a pair of mid-quarter timeouts that didn't halt their momentum. PRE's bench was hit with a C1 technical on head coach Jérôme Lefevre early in the second quarter as KDS stayed in command, buoyed by Alessia Joanna Nouemsi (16, Italy) hitting three free throws in a row. Halftime: 37-13.
The third quarter brought another KDS surge: a 12-0 burst (Maz, Kazic, Margaux Pelot-Berardi, and Tyana Amou in succession) pushed the margin to 51-16 before Celina Schmit replied. KDS reached their largest lead at 68-25 late in the fourth. Julie Secco's group maintained steady pressure and consistently converted around the rim.
