Musel Pikes B overpowered Racing Luxembourg 84-45 in Stadtbredimus, controlling every phase of this W-U16 Division 3 Phase finale matchup. Coach Idris Abderrahmane Kader's side burst out 18-7 in the first quarter, then broke the game open with a 27-13 second period to lead 45-20 at halftime. A 17-9 third frame pushed the margin to 62-29 before the hosts cruised home, peaking at a 41-point lead (84-43).
Key early moments set the tone: late in Q1, Lilly Weber (MUSB) strung together seven consecutive points to make it 18-5. Early in Q2, Musel rattled off a 12-0 run from 20-9 to 32-9, with Zoé Schmit (Season PPG: 5.07) and Sally Kieffer (MUSB) fueling the surge.
Musel's balance was decisive: Elisabeth De Lourdes Furtado Monteiro (Season PPG: 7.56) and Weber led with 15 points each, supported by Lena Mischo (MUSB) 14, Schmit 13 and Emma Gloden (Season PPG: 8.13) 13. Fatoumata Sony Dia Balde (ESP) added a fourth-quarter three. Weber later fouled out, but the hosts had long secured control.
Racing, guided by coach Wojciech Daniel Kubis, found offense through Lida Bonarou (Season PPG: 3.43) with 11, Veere Ootes (Season PPG: 2.50) 9, Viktoriia Lukianenko (15, UKR) 9 and captain Emma Peccati (Season PPG: 12.11) 9. Several visitors accumulated fouls (Bonarou and Peccati reached four), hampering rhythm.
In the standings, Musel Pikes B stay atop the Phase finale at 3-0 and extend their winning streak to four. Racing drop to 0-2 in fifth. This result also confirms the trend from their earlier meeting this season, a Musel win (88-23) in Phase 1.
