AS Soleuvre C dominated Amicale Steesel B, 83-56 in Steinsel, built on a ruthless start and a third-quarter surge. Vincent Sunnen set the tone with back-to-back threes in the opening minutes, and SOLC strung together a 13-0 run from 6-6 to 19-6. The visitors closed the first quarter 23-11 and never looked back. AMIB steadied in the second through Tom Hoffmann and the perimeter touch of Quentin Leveque (34, France), but SOLC still led 41-28 at halftime.
The game broke open after the break. Pit Heinz piled up 10 points in the third, while Carlos Jordy Borges added a corner three and Sunnen struck again from outside. SOLC closed the quarter on a 14-2 burst to reach 70-38, their largest lead at +32. AMIB's late push Félix Schaack and Gil Rech (1.88m) hitting from deep trimmed the margin in the fourth, but the gap remained substantial.
Top performers SOLC: Sunnen 20 points (four triples), Julien Kuhn 15 (including a late three), Gilles Gerstmann 14 (steady two-point scoring and free throws), Heinz 12 (third-quarter flurry), Borges 10 after impactful first-quarter minutes (1+2 in quick succession). For AMIB: Leveque 13 (three threes), Rech 13 (two late twos after multiple threes), Hoffmann 9, Jo Weimerskirch 8, with Fabio Adducchio adding 6 and Claus Cramon Houmann (50, Denmark) 2.
Coach Geiben's rotation and perimeter spacing repeatedly cracked AMIB's defense, while Coach Hoffmann's time-outs couldn't stem the decisive third-quarter tide. In form terms, SOLC extend their winning streak to six, climbing to 2nd place (8-4). AMIB remain 6th (4-8) and are on a six-game losing skid. The season head-to-head is now 1-1 after AMIB's earlier 73-67 win away.
