AS Soleuvre C controlled the second half to beat Avanti Mondorf B 62-51 in Zolwer/Scheierhaf. The game was balanced for 20 minutes (16-15, 15-16; 31-31 at halftime) before the hosts imposed their rhythm after the break.
Early on, Cedric Demontis (17) opened with five quick points to 7-2, but Mondorf answered through Arthur Ladonet (15, FRA), who poured in six in a row to pull it back to 12-11. The visitors' best stretch came mid-second quarter when Lou Mertens (13) hit five straight to build a 21-27 cushion. Demontis responded by authoring the next four Soleuvre field goals, dragging it back to 29-29, and Gilles Gerstmann briefly nudged SOLC ahead before Mondorf tied at the interval.
The key swing arrived right after halftime: Tom Lahure (17, 45 years old) buried back-to-back threes and SOLC stitched together a 10-1 run to 41-34. Despite Foni Mertens (16, 1.82m) keeping MONB in touch, Soleuvre led 46-42 after three. In the fourth, Lahure and Pit Heinz (16, Season PPG: 12.0) pushed it to 50-42, yet Mondorf rallied to 54-51 on Jonathan Daiminger's finish. A crucial unsportsmanlike foul (U2) by Lou Mertens at 54-51 sparked the decision: Jérémy Le Marchand split a free throw, Lahure drilled a triple, another Le Marchand free throw followed, and Gary Andre Pleimling added a three for an 8-0 closing run. Highest lead came at the buzzer (+11).
