T71 Dudelange won the W-Coupe Cadettes final with authority, 76-43 over Amicale Steesel, after taking control very early and widening the gap before halftime.
Amicale opened with Kathryn Jo Missavage (18, 1.80m) scoring the first basket, but T71 answered with a 12-0 run to move from 0-2 to 12-2. That first separation set the tone. Alana Krings hit the first three, Lena Schalbar and Lara Jemming added quick scores, and T71 closed the opening quarter ahead 20-10.
The game broke open in the second period. T71 started the quarter with another 5 straight points, then kept adding pressure on both ends. Mina Baseggio (16) was a major driver in that stretch, and Krings kept punishing from long range. At halftime, T71 had built a 46-17 lead after a dominant 26-7 quarter.
The third quarter followed the same pattern. T71 pushed the margin beyond 30 and later to a game-high 37 points at 63-26. Baseggio stayed on a roll, while Schalbar continued to score efficiently around the arc and inside. Amicale had a few answers through Lily Wittwer (18, 1.80m) and Kendra Leveling (17, 1.80m, BEL), but the gap was already very large.
Amicale reacted well in the last quarter and won it 17-13, with Missavage and Wittwer carrying most of the scoring load and Nina Bintz adding 5 points. Still, T71 remained fully in control.
Baseggio led T71 with 22 points, including 4 three-pointers. Schalbar added 16, Krings 12 with 4 threes, and Jemming 11. For Amicale, Missavage finished with 19 points, Wittwer had 12, Bintz 5, and Boayue 4. Coach Mike Baseggio's team combined scoring depth with strong game-long momentum, especially through the second quarter.
