T71 Dudelange controlled this W-U19 Division 1 game from the opening minutes and won 81-53, a result that moved T71 up to first place while Sparta Bertrange stayed fifth.
Coach Mike Baseggio's team set the tone with a 7-0 start. Elsa Guedes (18, 1.72m) opened with a three and later added another, while Dana Wies (18, 1.77m) scored four points in a row during the first-quarter push. Sparta settled after that through Luisa Feyder and Louise Massard, but T71 still closed the period 18-9, with Jana Dos Santos Dramicanin finishing the quarter strongly.
The second quarter was another key phase. Ghalia Hatim scored the first four points of the period for T71, pushing the lead to 22-9. Sparta answered through captain Alexia Vevecka and Chiara Sahaia Rasolofo (16, 1.70m), but T71's depth showed again. Marie Beffort Neuman scored back-to-back baskets and Mina Baseggio added inside scoring as the home side finished the half on an 8-0 run for 40-22.
Sparta had its best offensive stretch in the third quarter. Rasolofo, Vevecka and Feyder kept the visitors active, yet T71 answered most of those moments immediately. Hatim's three and Baseggio's inside work kept the margin comfortable at 60-38 after three.
The decisive break came early in the fourth. T71 produced a 9-0 run from 60-38 to 69-38, their highest lead at that stage, with Dos Santos Dramicanin and Desejada Antonio Lopes Ca doing the damage. Later, T71 extended it again to 81-46 before Sparta closed on a 7-0 run.
Wies led T71 with 17 points, followed by Guedes with 14, Hatim with 11, and both Baseggio and Dos Santos Dramicanin with 10. For Sparta, Rasolofo scored 13, Vevecka 11 and Feyder 10. The game sheet also recorded a disqualifying foul for Guedes, despite her strong scoring contribution.
