Amicale Steesel controlled Etzella Ettelbruck 62-52 in Steinsel after a steady, defense-first display and timely scoring runs. The opening minutes saw the captains trade early threes, Kathryn Jo Missavage (17, 1.80m) for AMI and Selma Jung (17) for ETZ. Amicale closed the first quarter on a 9-2 push for 16-10, largely on a personal 7-point burst by Lily Wittwer (17, 1.80m).
Early in Q2, Coach Paul Missavage's group strung together an 8-0 run to 24-10, before Coach Valentine Jung's side answered with a 12-3 spell fueled by Celine Urwald (18) from deep and inside finishes by Catharina Schonckert (18), trimming it to 27-22 at the break. The game's hinge came right after halftime: Amicale delivered a 12-1 surge to 39-25 behind Missavage and Kendra Leveling (16, 1.80m, BEL), restoring a double-digit cushion. Etzella stayed in touch through Jung's perimeter shots and Ella Reding's (18) free throws, entering the fourth at 41-35.
In the final quarter, Wittwer's drives and mid-range accuracy, combined with Missavage's composure at the line, stretched the lead to a game-high +15 at 62-47. Celina Santos (16) closed with five straight points, but the gap was set.
