Amicale Steesel controlled the pace in Wiltz and beat Les Sangliers Wooltz 92-74 after a steady, quarter-by-quarter build. The visitors set the tone early through repeated trips to the line by Desiree Genevieve Ramos (30, 1.70m, USA), who strung together several sequences of consecutive free throws to open a 16-22 edge after 10 minutes.
Wooltz responded in the second quarter behind backcourt leaders Lisy Hetting (22, 1.72m) and Amra Hasanovic (21, 1.70m). SAN closed to 31-30, but a timeout flipped momentum: Mandy Geniets (13, 1.78m) hit a three and Amicale stitched a 6-0 answer to restore breathing room. Halftime: 37-42.
The third quarter proved decisive. Julie Mangen (17, 1.64m) punished SAN at the stripe and in penetration, while Ramos and Marie Stoffel (15, 1.77m) added threes. A late 5-0 burst pushed Amicale to 55-66 after 30 minutes. SAN's interior anchor Emma Marie Broermann (12, 1.92m, USA) picked up fouls throughout and eventually fouled out, which hurt the hosts' rim presence.
Any Wooltz push in the fourth was blunted by discipline issues: Hasanovic was whistled for an unsportsmanlike foul (U2), head coach Raphael Alain Ansion received a technical (C1), and later Hetting took a technical (T1). Amicale converted the extra free throws Mangen and Ramos were clinical and stretched the gap to +20 as Stoffel and Geniets knocked down key threes. A'lexus Shaquann Harrison (14, USA) added steady scoring and drew fouls at important moments. For SAN, Agathe Louise Elise Bacconnier (10, 1.68m, FRA) provided mid-range answers, but the visitors' depth and composure at the line decided it.
With this away win Amicale moves to 2nd in the W-Enovos League classification (1-1), while Wooltz stands 4th (1-1). Coach Paul Missavage's team showed a balanced scoring map: alongside Ramos's 30, Mangen, Stoffel, Harrison and Geniets all hit double figures. On the other side, Hetting and Hasanovic combined for 43, but the avalanche of fourth-quarter free throws and threes from Steesel settled the game, with the lead peaking at 20 points.
