T71 Dudelange overpowered Musel Pikes 101-68 in Stadtbred., staying atop the W-ENOVOS League 2e Tour and extending their winning streak to four. The matchup was balanced early (tied after ten), with Svenia Nurenberg repeatedly finding seams and Mackenzie Caroline Farmer answering for Musel, including from deep. Tom Schumacher's side broke it open in the second quarter: after Musel briefly led 29-28, T71 strung together a 16-3 burst fueled by Shalonda Renae Winton and Lauren Anne Van Kleunen inside and a timely triple from Mia Schroeder, building a 55-36 halftime cushion. The visitors never let up after the break, pushing the margin beyond 30 in the fourth.
Numbers told the story. T71 posted good shooting across the board: 76% at the line (19/25), 54% on twos (28/52) and 37% from three (7/19). They dominated the glass 38-24, with a 12-3 edge in offensive rebounds, and won the turnover battle (15 vs 19). Musel hit 75% FTs (15/20) and 36% from three (5/14) but struggled on twos (39%, 16/41).
Among T71's internationals, Winton (18 pts, 5/7 FT, two threes) and the 1.88m Van Kleunen (16 pts, 6/9 2P) set the tone, while 1.91m Beatriz Ines Gomes Jordao added 13 with steady interior finishing. Nurenberg led the domestic core with 21 (7/9 2P, two threes) before fouling out late, long after the result was decided. The bench added late daggers, including fourth-quarter threes by Lena Schalbar and Mina Baseggio (T71, 16).
For Musel, Farmer (CAN, 1.88m) was outstanding with 28 points on a perfect 7/7 at the stripe, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks. Alexandra Weber (Season % 1P:75.86, 2P:38.27, 3P:25.00) chipped in 9 with two triples, while Lesley Leches hit from deep and Hannah Curridor contributed around the rim.
T71's head coach Schumacher received a fourth-quarter technical with his team comfortably ahead. Musel's Marc Hahnemann could only watch as the league leaders, deeper and with two professionals to Musel's one, pulled away to a highest lead of +34. In the standings, T71 sit 16-1; Musel remain sixth at 3-14 and on a three-game skid.
