W-U14 Division 4, Phase 1, round-robin (Game 5) in Berbourg: Résidence Walferdange (RES) edged BBC East Side Pirates B (BEPB) 47-40 after a game of big momentum swings and long scoring runs.
BEPB exploded out of the blocks with an 11-0 start, powered by Mona Agnes Louise Dieschburg (BEPB) and early inside touches. Résidence answered immediately with a 14-0 run to close the first period (11-14) behind Aislinn Vict Beroy Lopez (12, PHL) and Jana Meyer (RES).
The second quarter stayed tight and low-scoring (15-20 at half). BEPB had to navigate early foul clusters: Iris Barnabe do Senhor (BEPB) picked up two personal fouls in a row in Q1, and Dieschburg took two quick personals early Q2. No one fouled out, but those bursts shaped minutes and matchups for Coach Paul Daleiden.
After the break, BEPB authored the game's largest surge: a 17-0 run to 32-20 with Mia Theis (BEPB), Barnabe do Senhor and Melinda Da Silva Lopes (BEPB) all contributing, plus finishes from Dieschburg. Coach Filip Dukic's team replied instantly with a 15-0 counterpunch, capped by a Meyer three, to flip it to 32-35 by the end of the third.
Early in the fourth, BEPB struck again with an 8-0 spurt to lead 40-35 as Dieschburg and Da Silva Lopes scored in succession. In the closing minutes, RES found the last word: a 12-0 closing run keyed by Meyer's perimeter shot-making (including another three to tie), Léana Absa Faye (RES) attacking the lane, and Mira Schroeder (RES) sealing the result.
