Gréngewald Hueschtert won the W-Coupe Fillettes final 66-50 against T71 Dudelange after a game that stayed competitive for a long stretch.

Gréngewald then produced an 18-3 run to turn that tie into a 52-37 advantage, the decisive stretch of the final. Van der Schilden and Yadanar Greenhalgh (Season PPG: 16.57) drove that phase, while Nayah Grego (Season PPG: 7.40) and 13-year-old Irish player Katherine Thompson (Season PPG: 4.40) added valuable baskets around the paint.
Greenhalgh finished powerfully, with two separate 6-point bursts in the last period. GRE's lead reached 18 points at 62-44, its biggest of the afternoon, and T71 never fully recovered from that swing.
