Musel Pikes controlled their W-U14 Division 1 championship-round game in Dreiborn from the opening tip, beating Etzella Ettelbruck 84-41. Coach Majdi Anan's team exploded to a 15-0 start through balanced scoring from Julidé Klara Lambe, Sally Kieffer, Lena Mischo (MUS), Emma Gloden and Lilly Weber. Etzella closed the first period with a 6-0 answer via captain Leni Kreins and Emma Klein to 20-8, but the second quarter (28-8) broke the game open as Mischo strung together nine points in that frame and Gloden and Weber kept the pressure on. Halftime read 48-16.
The third quarter decided it. Musel opened after the break with a 10-0 burst powered by Gloden and Weber, then stretched the run to 14-0; the margin peaked at +49 (67-18) after Lambe's three. Etzella showed character in the fourth, winning the period 21-17 with a 7-0 spell from Kreins, Klein and Yana Lukic (13), but the gap was already too large.
Gloden (Season PPG: 29.88) led Musel with 24 points, repeatedly finishing from mid-range and in transition. Weber (Season PPG: 13.60) added 20, Lambe (Season PPG: 9.57) contributed 14 including 3/3 at the line, while Mischo (MUS) chipped 13 and Kieffer (Season PPG: 5.88) 9. Musel hit three triples (Gloden 2, Lambe 1) and controlled the paint.
For Etzella, Kreins (Season PPG: 10.50) battled to 19 points and Klein (Season PPG: 16.13) scored 12, but the visitors did not make a three and missed the usual punch from Jill Maes (Season PPG: 18.17), who was held scoreless. Coach Dragana Zoric's side did find late rhythm, including two fourth-quarter free throws by Lukic.
Musel confirm the Phase 1 trend (101-46 away) and move to second place in the championship round (2-1, +88 differential). Etzella sit fourth at 1-2.
