AS Soleuvre B edged Rebound Préizerdaul 78-69 in Zolwer/Scheierhaf, a game that swung through several large runs. Préizerdaul opened 0-4, but Soleuvre answered with a 21-4 punch to close the first quarter 25-14. At halftime it was 38-28, and after a 17-15 third quarter for the visitors, Soleuvre still led 53-45.
The fourth quarter delivered the tension. Soleuvre stretched the gap to a game-high +13 at 58-45, before Préizerdaul roared back with a 15-3 surge to 61-60, fueled by Olivier Braun (17) and Welton Djon Silva do Rosario (16). After a timeout from coach Hervé Marie-Rose, Soleuvre steadied: Kieran Nono hit, Diego Fine nailed a key three (66-62), and Rainjay Maturan (22, PHL) buried back-to-back triples to create decisive daylight (72-62). From there, the hosts managed the finish and were worthy winners in a game that got very close late.
For Soleuvre, Sandro Sana (21, PRT) led with 19, Maturan added 13 including 6 straight in the clutch, Sandro Romao Sanches Gomes Barros (Season PPG: 4.0) had 9, with Fine (17, FRA) and Mathys Ntemo (19) contributing 8 each. For Préizerdaul, Braun's 17 and Silva do Rosario (1.94m, PRT) with 16 carried the scoring, supported by Mathis Weyrich (Season PPG: 12.0) on 13 and Aaron Legg (Season PPG: 10.0) with 9; Zachary Legg added 6 in the first-half push. Fouls mattered: Weyrich and captain Jamal Wilson both finished on four.
In the standings, Soleuvre B climbs to 2nd (+1) and extends its run to three wins in a row, while Préizerdaul stays 5th, their two-game streak halted. Coach Mike Weyer's side showed resilience with that fourth-quarter rally, but Soleuvre's late sequence after the timeout decided it.
