By the third quarter, the lead had ballooned past 40 points, and the final period became a formality as the home side emptied its bench and still extended the advantage.

Season & Table Impact

Eiffeltowers Den Bosch improves to 22–12, solidifying fourth place in the BNXT standings and putting pressure on third-placed Yoast United. For Belfius Mons, the heavy defeat drops them to 10–24 and leaves them rooted in 14th position, with a negative point differential that could prove costly in the battle to avoid the wooden spoon.

Den Bosch head coach Patrick Faijdherbe was pleased with the all-around effort: “We set the tone defensively from the start. When we defend like that and crash the boards, we become very difficult to beat. This was a statement win.”

Mons will attempt to regroup as they face a tough road trip to Groningen, while Den Bosch looks ahead to a crucial matchup against league leaders ZZ Leiden that could shape the playoff picture.
