France continue to impress at the 2006 Umcor European Championship U18 Women in Tenerife.

After crushing Belgium 86-42 on day one, the French had few problems against Greece on day two, winning easily, 57-70.

It took France all of six minutes to establish dominance as they raced away to a 12-0 advantage, from which Greece would never recover.

Greece battled bravely to reduce the lead to as little as 3 points in the second quarter, but France put the game out of reach in the third with a 21-11 run.

France's superiority on the boards was reflected in the stats and they out-rebounded Greece by a whopping 61-36.

Nwal-Endene Miyem led the way for France with 16 points and 10 rebounds, while Ana Cata-Chitiga posted 13 points and 11 rebounds.
