Gréngewald Hueschtert won 92-33 away at Sparta Bertrange and moved to 1st place after the opening round, while Sparta is 4th. The game was shaped very early: GRE opened on a 15-0 run and led 23-2 after the first quarter. Louisa Schmit (GRE) set the tone immediately, and the visitors already had four scorers before Sparta got on the board.
Sparta reacted better in the second quarter. Coach Patrick Roilgen's team limited GRE to 6 points in that spell and got scoring from Anaé Sacaze (SPA), Kleio Chatzinikoli (SPA), Sophie Styr (SPA) and Marie-Fleur Flechtner (SPA). At 12-29, the home side had at least slowed the pace after a very difficult start.
The third quarter pushed the game decisively toward GRE again. Schmit (GRE) scored inside and from long range, Katherine Thompson (GRE) added useful bench points, and a 10-0 run from 21-45 to 21-55 reopened the gap. GRE then finished with a 37-point fourth quarter, including the last 12 points of the game. The highest lead reached 59 points.
Schmit (GRE) was the leading scorer with 28 points, built on 11 two-point baskets and 2 threes. Eve Van der Schilden (GRE) and Yadanar Greenhalgh (GRE) both added 20 points; Van der Schilden also scored 8 straight points late in the fourth despite having picked up two fouls already in the first quarter. GRE produced 78 of its 92 points on two-point field goals.
For Sparta, Sacaze (SPA) scored 11, Chatzinikoli (SPA) 10, while Styr (SPA) and Flechtner (SPA) each finished with 6. Their best phase remained the second quarter, but GRE's repeated runs before and after halftime left little space for a closer contest.
