In the W-U14 Division 2 phase finale, Sparta Bertrange, ranked 2nd after the game, controlled the return meeting at niederkuer and beat 5th-ranked Kordall Steelers 80-35. Coach Laurent Cames' side also completed a 2-0 season sweep against coach Julien Bordonne's team after the earlier 68-47 win.
The game was shaped very early. Sparta opened on an 8-0 run and never lost command. Kordall settled after a timeout and reduced the first quarter deficit to 8-18, but the second period was the key stretch. Sparta went from 8-18 to 8-25 and then 10-33, creating clear separation. Kordall's best answer came when Ema Babacic (13, MNE) scored 6 points in a row to bring it back to 16-33, yet Sparta still closed the half strongly and led 39-17 after a late three from Cristina Maria Simmons.
The third quarter did not change the pattern. Kordall had scoring from Babacic and Lea Njia Nouemsi (Season PPG: 13.73), but Sparta kept the margin above 20 and entered the last quarter up 56-26. A new 6-0 burst at the start of the fourth pushed the gap to 62-26, and the visitors finished with the game-high lead of 45 points.
Anaé Sacaze (Season PPG: 24.25) was the main offensive force with 30 points. Marie-Fleur Flechtner (Season PPG: 10.18) added 12, Nina Fiorenza (12, ITA) scored 11 in only her third game in this competition, and Stéphanie Stoeva (Season PPG: 8.76) had 10. For Kordall, Babacic finished with 19 and Nouemsi added 11, but Nouemsi's foul trouble became important as she picked up consecutive fouls in the third quarter and fouled out in the fourth.
