AS Soleuvre B, now first at 6-0 after a sixth straight win, took a close 65-58 road result at Rebound Préizerdaul. PRE, despite a second consecutive defeat, climbed to third place.
The game swung sharply several times. PRE exploded into a 19-0 start, with Olivier Pierre Marie Braun Ep. Kdiss (Season PPG: 14.50), Jamal Wilson (Season PPG: 6.17) and Kieran Nono (Season PPG: 13.33) setting the tone. Soleuvre answered immediately with 19 unanswered points of its own to close the first quarter level at 19-19.
Coach Mike Weyer's side then pushed back again: Aaron Legg (Season PPG: 3.80) scored four straight points and PRE opened the second period on a 12-0 run to lead 31-19. That should have been a turning point, but SOLB produced the decisive response: a 20-0 burst to the break for a 39-31 advantage.
That momentum carried into the third quarter. AS Soleuvre B stretched the margin to 16 points, with Cyprien Gabriel Julien Brochot-Carric (20, 2.00m, FRA) finishing strongly inside, while Carlos Jordy Borges (Season PPG: 8.83) and Pol Diedenhofen (Season PPG: 15.60) kept the scoring balanced.
PRE kept the game alive in the fourth. Jérôme Wolff (Season PPG: 7.50) hit a three to cut it to 55-47, and later Fredy Anders Da Luz Evora's late triple reduced the gap to 63-58. Diedenhofen answered with the last basket for the visitors.
Braun led PRE with 16 points, Nono had 13 and Wilson 12. For the winners, Brochot-Carric scored 16, Borges and Sandro Sanches Gomes Barros (21, 1.83m) added 13 each, and Diedenhofen finished with 10.
