BBC East Side Pirates overpowered US Heffingen 64-34 in WU14 Division 2 (Phase 1) in Wasserbillig, breaking the game open after halftime. The start was explosive: BEP raced to a 13-0 lead, with Nelly Ney pouring in 9 consecutive Pirates points and 11 of their first 13. Heffingen answered immediately with a 13-0 run of their own to level at 13-13 behind baskets from Emma Koenig and Leini Dostert plus free throws by Lou Krieps and Isabella Alves Novaes (13). BEP closed the first period 17-13 and nudged the margin to 32-21 at the half, driven by Louisa Schmit's steady inside scoring and support from Aurélie Biver and Lily Schneider.
The third quarter decided it: a 24-5 partial for BEP. Ney kept slicing through in transition, Liz Diederich added mid-range finishes, and Lena Lentz hit back-to-back baskets. Aziz Ndiaye's team reached its largest lead at 64-28 (+36) early in the fourth before Heffingen stopped the bleeding. The final period was even (8-8), helped by Amelia Joan Morton (12, AUS) and Dostert, but the gap remained substantial. Heffingen captain Emma Koenig, who picked up two quick fouls early, later fouled out in the fourth, further limiting options for José Alberto Pais Costa.
Top performers BEP: Ney 21, Schmit 16, Diederich 8, Lentz 6. HEF: Dostert 13, Koenig 6, Lena Kugener 6, Morton 4, Alves Novaes 3. Maud Wagener and Krieps contributed at the line. In the standings, Heffingen sit 1st (1-1) and East Side Pirates 2nd (1-0).
