Croatia U16 Women

Kotryna Grunkyte steered Lithuania U16 Women past Croatia U16 Women 70–67 in a classification fixture that hinged on single possessions, posting 25 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists across 29 minutes at Sala Sporturilor Mioveni. She shot 8 of 15 from the floor, including 2 of 5 from three, and converted 7 of 14 free throws — a near triple-double that proved decisive in the three-point margin. The Lithuanian guards' ball distribution ran the offense in tight circumstances. Five turnovers against that assist tally speaks to the pace and pressure both sides applied; Grunkyte's three steals also reflected her engagement on the other end. In a matchup where possessions carried weight, her efficiency from the field — she did not foul out — mattered. Lithuania finished 11th in the FIBA U16 Women's EuroBasket Division A campaign with this win. For Croatia, the loss settled them 12th. Both teams' tournaments are complete.

Lindiwe David Essaga a porté nos jeunes Bleues avec une efficacité redoutable : 19 points en 20 minutes, 9/11 au tir et 3 passes décisives pour conduire la France U16 Women à une victoire sans appel face à la Croatie (97–41). La marge parle d'elle-même, mais c'est la maîtrise individuelle qui retient l'attention. Essaga n'a raté que deux tirs de jeu et a ajouté 4 rebonds et 3 interceptions dans une performance calibrée où chaque possession comptait. Zéro faute commise en 20 minutes : un marqueur de discipline offensive et défensive. En Groupe A du FIBA U16 Women's EuroBasket, il s'agissait d'imposer le rythme face à un adversaire largement dépassé — mission accomplie. Nos jeunes Bleues poursuivent leur marche en avant.
