W-Coupe Filles-Scolaires, 1/8 finales Gréngewald Hueschtert overpowered Etzella Ettelbruck 78-37 in Oberanven after taking control early and never letting go. The hosts opened 4-0 and, after Etzella trimmed it to 8-6, Coach Eric Bojan's side uncorked a 9-0 run to 17-6, prompting the first timeout. The quarter closed 19-8. Gréngewald broke the game open in the second period with a 24-8 partial to lead 43-16 at halftime; Etzella's captain Hannah Maes (ETZ) kept her team on the board from the line, but the deficit kept growing.
The third quarter was balanced (11-11). Eve Van der Schilden (GRE) strung together five points in a row (a three and a two) to push it to 52-21 before Jill Maes (ETZ) answered from deep. In the fourth, Gréngewald finished with a 24-10 surge, their largest lead reaching 41 at the buzzer.
Gréngewald's attack was led by Van der Schilden (GRE) with 25 points, fueled by four triples, and Giulia Pauletto (14, ITA) with 19 points and steady free throws. Yadanar Mamou Greenhalgh (GRE) added 14, including two threes, while Sophie Dupong (GRE) contributed 12 and hit a late three despite carrying four personal fouls. The hosts compiled 24 two-point field goals and 7 threes, plus 9 made free throws.
Etzella's offense centered on Hannah Maes (ETZ) with 14 points (6 free throws, 4 two-pointers). Support came from Jill Maes (ETZ) with 8, Jil Ries (ETZ) with 6, and Rica Karamaga (ETZ) with 5. Coach Romain Beckers used early timeouts and rotations to stem Gréngewald's rhythm, yet foul trouble hurt: Kiara Lopes Morais (ETZ) picked up three P2 fouls in the second quarter, and Nikki Grethen (ETZ) had two early fouls.
No technical, unsportsmanlike or disqualifying fouls were recorded. After 19-8, 24-8, 11-11 and 24-10 quarters, Gréngewald's consistency across all phases proved decisive. Katherine Thompson (13, IRL) and Maria Alesia Basalo Rangel (GRE) closed it out at the line and from mid-range.
