Avanti Mondorf edged Musel Pikes B 64-57 after overtime in Mondorf, a game defined by swings and late poise. The visitors controlled the first quarter (8-12) and built the largest lead at +9 late in the third (30-39), boosted by a strong stretch from Elisabeth Furtado Monteiro (18) who knocked down four field goals in that period, and by scoring from Emma Gloden (13) and Zo Schmit (14, Season PPG: 6.0).
Coach Olivier Haan's team answered before the break with a 13-8 second quarter and then flipped the momentum at the start of the fourth: a 7-0 burst, keyed by Ziba Milani Nia (26) and a three from captain Margarida Veiga Costa (12, 14 years, PRT), put Mondorf back in front 45-42. Veiga Costa, who hit four threes on the day, later fouled out in the final quarter, forcing Mondorf to finish regulation without a key shooter. Musel Pikes B, guided by coach Daniel Fernandes Sousa, forced overtime at 50-50 through steady trips to the line by Zo Schmit and Eve Engel (8).
In the extra period, Mondorf found decisive game winners in sequence. Sara Pronaj (11) opened OT with a three, Milani Nia added a momentum three to restore a twopossession gap, and 14yearold Inaya Moubarkak (10, FRA) struck twice inside. That produced a 9-1 run from 55-54 to 64-55, before Schmit's late basket set the final margin. Hannah Schockmel (2) also contributed a made three earlier, while Jil Espen (2) provided a late regulation layup for 50-49.
