T71 Dudelange overpowered Les Sangliers Wooltz 114-61 in Wiltz and stay perfect on top of the W-Enovos League at 9-0, while Les Sangliers sit 5th at 2-7. The visitors also swept the season series after the 78-49 win in the first meeting.
Game evolution
T71 set the tone immediately: Svenia Nurenberg opened the scoring with four straight free throws, and early inside finishes from Lauren Van Kleunen and Shalonda Winton pushed a 6-0 start. Les Sangliers answered through Meghan Boyd and Amra Hasanovic, and a Lisy Hetting triple kept it at 21-28 after 10 minutes. The second quarter broke it open. Beatriz Gomes Jordao hit from deep, then Catherine Mreches drilled back-to-back threes (30-49, 30-52) before Van Kleunen added two in a row from long range (30-55, 30-58). That surge fueled a 35-11 period and a 63-32 halftime lead, with T71 producing a 23-6 run mid-quarter despite time-outs.
Winton and Van Kleunen maintained control after the break. Emma Broermann (Season PPG: 9.11, RPG: 12.0, AssPG: 1.86) picked up three quick fouls in the third and fouled out late in the period, taking away Wooltz's main presence on the glass. T71 closed with a 32-16 fourth, and the largest lead matched the final margin at +53.
