Les Sangliers Wooltz, still second in the classification, handled third-placed T71 Dudelange B 65-51 at home and stretched their current run to three straight wins. It also confirmed SAN's control of this matchup in the phase finale, after their earlier 65-49 away win.
Paul Biver's team took command very early. SAN opened on a 17-0 run and finished the first quarter 23-6, already setting the rhythm of the game. Lara Corron (Season PPG: 5.33) and Lou-Andréa Foutey Fonkam (Season PPG: 18.00) were efficient inside, while Chiara Giorgio (Season PPG: 24.20) quickly became the main scoring force. The home side's highest lead came at 30-10 in the second quarter.
T71B answered with a better second period. Lynn Biever's group closed the half with a 14-5 run to reduce the gap to 35-24. Late in that stretch, Fiona Loes (Season PPG: 4.70) and Melina Melanda (Season PPG: 2.86) combined for 8 unanswered points, helping the visitors re-enter the game. Joyce Perrard (Season PPG: 8.71) also gave T71B stability as a scorer.
The third quarter followed the same pattern: each visiting push was met by SAN. Giorgio and Corron helped lift the score to 49-32, and although T71B stayed competitive, they could not bring the margin under 10 after the break. At 51-40 early in the fourth, SAN again had the right response through Stella Kirch (Season PPG: 3.44), Giorgio and Foutey Fonkam.
Giorgio led all scorers with 26 points, with Foutey Fonkam adding 15 and Corron 14 for SAN. For T71B, Perrard and Melanda scored 9 each, Eva Guedes (Season PPG: 4.32) had 8, and Loes added 6. Adrovic (T71B), 13, from Montenegro, and Hana Skrijelj (T71B) both provided useful support with 5 points. T71B move up one place despite the loss, while SAN stay in second at 5-1.
