AB Contern B overturned a 14-point halftime deficit to beat Kordall Steelers 60-52 in Contern, a game that swung dramatically after the break. The visitors controlled the first half behind early shot-making from Sarah Macri (two triples in Q1) and steady scoring by Laetitia Soares, building their largest lead at 16-33 in the second quarter and closing the half up 24-38.
Coach Stefanie Kulesza's team reset at halftime and delivered a 14-0 run to start the third, tying it at 38-38. Claire Lavandier (25 years, 1.82m) ignited the comeback, scoring Contern's first 10 points of the quarter and later adding a key three. With the game level entering the fourth, Sophie Grivet struck twice from deep (to 45-42 and 50-44), and Contern never looked back.
Down the stretch, Lavandier closed it at the line, finishing with 27 points (12 free throws, six 2s, one 3). Amélie Laure Sybertz (Season PPG: 17.25) added 11, while Grivet chipped in 8, including those two fourth-quarter threes. Lisa Zoller and Lori Zoller supplied timely baskets and pressure-free throws in the rally.
Kordall's best answers came from Soares (28, FRA) with 15 and Macri with 11, while Julie Secco added 8. But foul trouble hurt: Alisha Staar (23, 1.75m), Macri and Léna Wantz all fouled out, limiting options for coach Julie Secco in the closing minutes as Contern's physicality and free throws took over.
It was a close game late, and the winners were AB Contern B. The result reshapes the W-Nationale 2 table: Contern B jump to 1st (7-1, +6 places) and extend their streak to four wins. Kordall remain 5th (4-5). Contern's third-quarter surge and late composure at the stripe were the decisive themes of a game that flipped on momentum and foul management.
