BBC East Side Pirates took a one-sided road win over Nitia Bettembourg, 136-19, and moved up one place to 3rd in W-U16 Division 2: Phase 1. Nitia stayed 5th.
The game was decided very early. BEP opened on an 18-0 run, with captain Nelly Ney (BEP) and Lena Lentz (BEP) setting the rhythm straight away. Bettembourg got its first basket through Chiara Terazzi (NIT), but the visitors still finished the first quarter far ahead at 34-8. Late in that period, 13-year-old Emma Kasel (BEP) added 6 points in a row.
The second quarter widened the gap even more. BBC East Side Pirates started it with another 12 unanswered points to reach 46-8. After a short response from Adèle Schmidt (NIT), the visitors produced the biggest sequence of the first half, a 28-0 run from 46-10 to 74-10. That stretch broke the game open before halftime.
The pattern stayed the same after the break. Nedzla Eco (BEP) kept the offense moving, including scoring from the foul line, while Sasha Pyee (NIT) hit Bettembourg's only three-pointer of the game. Even so, BEP led 105-17 after three quarters. In the fourth, another 15-0 spell pushed the margin further, with the final gap reaching 117 points.
BEP had several leading scorers: Ney 28, Kasel 24, Julie Ronck (BEP) 22, Lentz 21 and Eco 12. Liz Diederich (BEP) added 9. That balance was a major difference, with seven Pirates players scoring at least 8 points. For Nitia, Pyee led with 7, while Terazzi, Schmidt and Eloïse Lamamy (NIT) each scored 4. Coach Tania Mehlen's team is now 2-2, while coach Gioacchino Galione's side dropped to 0-4.
