Telstar Hesperange controlled Nitia Bettembourg 73-58 in W-U19 Division 3 (Phase 1), building steadily across all quarters and never letting go of momentum. After a balanced opening (8-8), Telstar closed the first period 22-17, with Ketsiah Joy Dor (15, FRA) pushing the pace and Ines Sarah Kambire (14, FRA) already finding seams in the paint. A decisive 15-4 surge in the middle of the second quarter stretched the gap to 41-27, and Telstar reached halftime up 43-32.
Nitia reacted well after the break with a 6-0 run to 43-38, sparked by Maelle Schillings (Season PPG: 12.0) and Julie De Oliveira (Season PPG: 7.0), but Dor and Kambire answered immediately and restored a double-digit margin (51-42). The fourth quarter belonged to Kambire: she scored Telstar's first seven points of the period to push the lead to 64-47. The hosts' largest lead reached +17 at 73-56 before the final 73-58.
Kambire led all scorers with 29 points, while Dor added 24. Julia Engel chipped in 8. For Nitia, Schillings poured in 24 (mixing drives, a three and free throws), supported by Hanna Wiejak (15) with 12 and De Oliveira with 9. Notable sequence late: Telstar's Glenda Toth-Magyari picked up three personal fouls in a row in the fourth, but the cushion held.
Coach Ivan Yeromin's side advances to 4-1 and sits 3rd, in the leading pack. Coach Defer's Nitia is 2-3 in 4th and on a three-game skid. The game's storyline: Telstar's second-quarter run set the tone, Nitia's third-quarter push was answered instantly, and Kambire's burst to open the fourth ended any doubt.
