Telstar Hesperange controlled the game in Rodange from the opening tip and defeated Kordall Steelers 75-46 in the W-U19 Division 3 Phase finale. Coach Ivan Yeromin's team struck first with a 0-7 start Milla Lutgen's early three followed by Ketsiah Joy Dor and Glenda Toth-Magyari and closed the first quarter up 6-20. Kordall struggled to settle, with quick fouls on Fatima Deolinda Fadia Djabi and early whistles on captain Margaux Pelot-Bérardi disrupting rotations.
Telstar opened the second quarter on another 0-6 burst (four straight from Rayhana Louhmadi, then Julia Engel) to 6-26. Kordall's timeout at 8-32 briefly steadied things and Alessia Joanna Nouemsi (16) powered a response with nine points in the period, yet Telstar still took a commanding 19-40 lead into halftime.
After Margaux Pelot-Bérardi scored first in Q3, Telstar answered with an 8-0 run sparked by Dor (15, FRA) and three consecutive baskets from Inès Sarah Kambire (14, FRA). Kordall improved offensively via Ingrid Bayart and Anna-Louise Nicole Duchesne, but the gap stayed wide at 34-56 after three. In the fourth, Rose Rosena Sanon Louarn knocked down two early free throws and Telstar pushed the margin to a game-high +29, closed out by late scores from Kambire and Lutgen.
Telstar's top performers were Dor (24; Season PPG: 23.44) and Kambire (20; Season PPG: 27.75), with Engel adding 8 and Louarn 7. For Kordall, Nouemsi led with 13 (Season PPG: 9.10), supported by Wendy Luna Silva da Rocha (11; Season PPG: 5.00) and Bayart (9; Season PPG: 9.50). Coach Julie Secco's team had moments notably Nouemsi's second-quarter stretch but Telstar repeatedly pieced together scoring runs (0-7 to start, 0-6 to open Q2, 8-0 in Q3) that decided the rhythm.
In the standings, Telstar sit 2nd in the Phase finale, while Kordall drop to 6th (-1). The result mirrors their earlier season meeting, also won by Telstar.
