Gréngewald Hueschtert took control early and won 81-41 away at Sparta Bertrange in this opening round-robin game of W-U14 Division 2 Phase 1.
Coach zeynep's team set the tone from the first quarter. After an even start at 4-4 and 6-6, Gréngewald closed the period with a strong push, led by captain Nayah Grego (GRE), to open a 21-10 advantage. That first separation was important, because Sparta then had to chase the game almost throughout.
The second quarter was decisive. Sparta, coached by Laurent Cames, briefly stayed in touch at 14-23 and 17-25, but Gréngewald answered with a major run to 42-17 at halftime. Yara Milani Nia (GRE) was especially productive in that stretch, scoring repeatedly around the basket, while Liz Kremer (GRE) and Mona Dieschburg (GRE) kept the pressure on.
Sparta showed more offensive life in the third quarter, scoring 24 points. Marie-Fleur Flechtner (SPA) remained the main reference, and Nina Fiorenza (SPA) added useful scoring. Still, each small Sparta rally was answered quickly. When Sparta cut it to 21-46, 23-50 and later 34-64, Gréngewald answered every time. Late in the third, Grego put together 5 points in a row, including the only three-pointer of the game, and the lead grew to 71-39.
Grego (GRE) finished with 20 points, Milani Nia (GRE) 15, Kremer (GRE) 12 and Dieschburg (GRE) 10, with good support from Marla Buchsteiner (GRE, 8) and Lis Legil Walesch (GRE, 6). For Sparta, Flechtner (SPA) scored 17, Fiorenza (SPA) 9 and Eshetha Thokala (SPA) 6. Gréngewald's edge was clear inside the arc, with 36 made two-point field goals against Sparta's 19.
