AB Contern B controlled the return leg in Dudelange, defeating T71 Dudelange B 64-44 and mirroring September's 64-43 home win to complete a 2-0 sweep. The game was balanced early (15-16 after Q1), with several lead changes as Liv Jander (Season PPG: 9.88) carried T71's offense. T71 even opened the second period with a Jander triple for 18-16, but Contern's response broke the game open.
The key swing came late in Q2: from 26-28, Contern strung together a 12-0 run built almost entirely at the line Jessica Hommel (Season PPG: 4.08) sank four straight free throws, before Kadri Türk added two more and a basket sending the visitors to halftime up 38-26 (22-11 in the quarter). Contern then managed the third and started the fourth with a 7-0 burst (34-55), their largest lead reaching 21. T71 answered with an 8-0 run (42-55), but Contern closed firmly.
Amélie Laure Sybertz (Season PPG: 17.36), 19 years old and 1.82m, was the difference-maker with an official 31 points, scoring in every quarter and steadying Contern during key stretches. Support came from Hommel (9) and Laura Bernardy (Season PPG: 5.54) with 6. For T71, the young duo of Jander (16) and Lisa Keup (Season PPG: 8.83; 18 years, 1.74m) also scored 16, while Amy Baulesch added 5. Keup's fifth foul in the fourth limited T71's late push; Elsa Guedes also fouled out.
Under coach Elisabeth Engel, Contern move to 10-4 and rise to 3rd in the table. Lynn Biever's T71 (now 3-11, 11th) slide to a fourth straight defeat, despite resilient runs in the second half.
