AS Soleuvre overpowered T71 Dudelange 100-58 in the Championship round (Phase 2) at grimler/terrain1, taking control from the opening minutes and never letting go. After an early 4-4, Roland Biever's team closed the first quarter on a 13-0 run for 4-17. Alain Schaeffer stopped the game during that surge, but the visitors' rhythm only improved: a 32-point second quarter and a 37-point third quarter broke the game open, with the lead peaking at 43 in the final period. Quarter scores: 4-17, 23-32, 21-37, 10-14.
Lou Lahure (Season PPG: 27.25) led Soleuvre with 30 points and ignited the third quarter, drilling four triples in the period (five threes overall) and piling on transition scores. Phillipe Vieira Geraldes (Season PPG: 23.71) added 28, living at the line and splashing five threes of his own. Timéo Weber (Season PPG: 15.25) contributed 13, while Romeo Angeloni chipped in 10 with back-to-back baskets late. Soleuvre strung together multiple mini-runs in Q3, repeatedly stretching the margin beyond 30.
T71's best stretch came in the second quarter with 23 points, powered by Ben Kloos (13; Season PPG: 12.00), Pol Guedes (11; Season PPG: 10.63) and Noah Baseggio (10; Season PPG: 14.00). Guedes hit a third-quarter three and was active attacking the lane, but a T1 in Q2 and four fouls hindered his continuity. Finn Crelot and Ivan Barbic (13, HRV) also reached four fouls as T71 struggled to contain Soleuvre's perimeter barrage and free-throw efficiency.
Soleuvre completes the season sweep after the 74-54 win in Phase 1. In the standings, SOL climbs to 2nd (ranking gain +3), while T71 sits 4th in the Championship round.
