AS Soleuvre left Walfer with a 59-50 win over Entente RES AMI B in MU18 Division 3: Phase 1, a game defined by a sharp thirdquarter swing. SOL edged the first period 1511, but ERAB, coached by Daniele StoffelAdam, responded in a backandforth second frame: a three by Neckel ChateauDucos put the hosts 2220 up and the half closed level at 2828.
Right after the break ERAB briefly seized control, 3531, on an Aurel Nicula triple. From there coach Herve MarieRose's side flipped the script with a decisive 162 run to end the quarter 4737, powered by Pol Diedenhofen's repeated finishes inside and support from Lex Lahure, Diego Fine and Lenny Hertert. Early in Q4, Nik Lahure's three and a Lex basket stretched the highest lead to +15 (5338). ERAB tried to rally late, but Nicula fouled out and the gap held.
Numbers underline the difference: both teams hit two threes, and ERAB made more free throws (8 vs 5), but SOL dominated inside with 24 twopointers to ERAB's 18. Diedenhofen led all scorers with 20 (ten 2pt field goals), Lex Lahure added 11, while Fine, Rafael Aguiar Sousa and Nik Lahure chipped in 7 each. For ERAB, Javier Cruz Andueza (17, ESP) scored 10, Nicula had 9 before disqualification on fouls, Riley Wohl added 9, and Illia Malkin (17, UKR) posted 8.
In the standings, Soleuvre climb to 3rd (gain +2, 11), while ERAB remain 6th at 02.
