Les Sangliers Wooltz overpowered Etzella Ettelbruck 75-46 in the W-U19 Division 2 championship round at deichwisen/central, breaking the game open with a decisive second quarter. After a balanced 12-12 first period, Coach Emma Marie Broermann's team unleashed an 11-0 run to start the second quarter (baskets by Célia Abessolo Minane, Lou-Andréa Foutey Fonkam and a triple plus a two from captain Lena Hodzic), turning parity into a 23-12 lead. The quarter finished 28-8 for SAN and a 40-20 halftime cushion.
ETZ, guided by Coach Valentine Jung, found perimeter answers after the break threes from Selma Jung (Season PPG: 6.6) and Céline Urwald (Season PPG: 4.2) but SAN kept control, edging the third 16-13 and extending late to the night's largest lead of 29 at the buzzer.
For SAN, Abessolo Minane (16, CMR) led with 24 points, consistently finishing at the rim across quarters. Hodzic (Season PPG: 9.8) added 22 and buried three triples, including key strikes during the second-quarter surge, while Foutey Fonkam (15, FRA; Season PPG: 6.6) contributed 17. Mia Lieffrig (Season PPG: 4.8) provided steady support.
ETZ's best reply came from Ella Reding (Season PPG: 10.6) with 11 points, backed by Celina Santos (Season PPG: 7.6) on 9 and Léa Gomes (Season PPG: 4.8) on 7. The hosts briefly rallied with outside shots in the third, but early foul trouble for role players (two quick whistles on Morgane Babinyanga in Q3) stalled momentum.
SAN have now won two straight and have taken both meetings this season versus ETZ (64-55 in Phase 1, 75-46 here). ETZ slide to four consecutive defeats after opening their recent run with a win.
