BC Mess won 55-46 away to BBC East Side Pirates B and repeated its earlier victory over the same opponent this season after the 55-48 result in December. Mess extended its run to four straight wins and climbed two places to 2nd in the W-U14 Division 3 Phase finale standings, while BEPB stayed 5th.
The game was controlled by Mess for most of the first three quarters. The visitors opened with a 12-4 start and led 16-8 after one period. Flàvia Rodrigues Borracci (Season PPG: 9.25) gave the first push, and Kaly Bara (Season PPG: 12.50) quickly joined in. In the second quarter, Mess kept the same rhythm, reached 28-18 at halftime and did not allow BEPB to build sustained momentum.
The third quarter was another important stretch for coach Max Meysembourg's team. Mess won it 14-8 and built its highest lead at 42-26. Rodrigues Borracci, Bara and Chloé Judy Berg (Season PPG: 6.17) carried almost all of the away scoring. That trio finished with 51 of the 55 Mess points: 21 for Rodrigues Borracci, 20 for Bara and 10 for Berg.
BEPB reacted well in the last quarter under coach Paul Daleiden. Mona Dieschburg (Season PPG: 14.73) led the response with 11 points in the period and 19 overall. The hosts won the last quarter 20-13 and cut the gap to 49-42, with support from Lena Schroeder's 10 points and Emmi Françoise Schroeder (Season PPG: 4.17) adding 6. Still, Mess answered each key run late and kept enough control to protect the lead.
