Luxembourg took control of the game from the start, the FLBB-women forced 2 turnovers on Malta’s first 2 possessions and after 2 minutes and 45 seconds of playing time, the score was 10:0 in favor of our women. Once again, an aggressive playing style on the defensive end was responsible for a strong start. Mossong and Meynadier hit 2 shots from long range to put Luxembourg up 20:5. Malta was able to stay in the game until the middle of the second quarter but the FLBB-squad stepped on the gas again before the break to go into the break with a comfortable lead (50:25). In the second half, Luxembourg kept controlling the game and did not allow any hopes on Malta’s players to make a comeback. Thanks to a big rotation, our coaching staff managed to keep the women’s legs fresh for the final on Sunday.
