Musel Pikes moved into 1st place and extended their run to four straight wins with a 98-51 home victory over US Heffingen, who also climbed one position to 4th.
Daniel Fernandes Sousa's side established control very early. After two quick personal fouls by Hannah Rolles and an early foul sequence from captain Charlotte Poos, Musel opened on a 13-0 run. Emma Gloden (13, MUS) set the tone immediately, scoring 9 of Musel's first 11 points, and the home team closed the first quarter with a clear 32-13 lead.
José Alberto Pais Costa's team answered better in the second period. Léini Dostert (12, HEF), Amelia Morton (13, HEF) and Poos (13, HEF) gave Heffingen more balance, and the quarter ended 18-18. At halftime, Musel were still in front 50-31, but Heffingen had at least slowed the game after the first-quarter surge.
The decisive break came just after the interval. Gloden scored Musel's first 7 points of the third quarter, pushing the margin from 19 to 26, and Musel kept rolling from there. The third period ended 30-6, turning a competitive second quarter into a one-sided game at 80-37. That stretch decided everything.
Gloden finished with 46 points, including 6 three-pointers, and was the game's clear offensive leader despite fouling out late. Julidé Klara Lambe (13, MUS) added 31 points and gave Musel a second major scoring source throughout the game. For Heffingen, Dostert and Morton both scored 15, while Poos added 9 but spent much of the afternoon in foul trouble and also fouled out. Musel's highest lead was 47 points at the final score.
