AS Soleuvre overpowered Résidence Walferdange 102-72 in M-U14 Division 1 (Phase 1), building steadily before breaking the game open after halftime. The first quarter was balanced (20-17), with Lou Lahure striking early and Kasparas Voska answering for RES. SOL added a bit of daylight in the second frame (22-18) through contributions from Maximilien Edouard Tran Van Mang (SOL) and Louis Ferrai, reaching 42-35 at the break.
The third quarter decided it. SOL exploded for 40-18, opening with a 6-0 burst and stringing together multiple runs that forced two time-outs from coach Steve Stéphane Alexandre. Timéo Weber's control at the line and in penetration, Lahure's perimeter accuracy and Philippe Vieira Geraldes' constant pressure extended the margin to 82-53 after 30 minutes. The highest lead reached +39 (99-60) early in the fourth before RES trimmed it late. Leo Loesch added two threes in the last period to keep SOL well clear.
Individually, Lahure (Season PPG: 28.0) led SOL with 34 points, supported by Vieira Geraldes (Season PPG: 25.6) with 20, Weber (Season PPG: 16.0) with 16 and Ferrai with 12. For RES, Voska delivered a huge 43 (Season PPG: 38.8), repeatedly keeping his team afloat, while Robert Nicula (Season PPG: 9.2) added 10. Gael Dos Santos Antonio (Season PPG: 15.6) fouled out in the fourth, a blow for RES after early foul trouble also hit Damian Oliver Schuller (three fouls in the first quarter).
Coach Roland Biever's side stays perfect at 5-0 and remains top of the classification. RES drops to 3-2 but is still second; after a 3-0 start, this is their second straight loss.
