Résidence Walferdange overpowered Telstar Hesperange 92-69 in the W-U19 Division 3 Phase finale, turning around the tight 73-72 loss from Phase 1. The win lifts Résidence to the top of the round-robin (4-0), while Telstar slips to third (3-1).
The visitors struck first and hard: a 17-28 opening quarter featured a 5-point burst by Jill Stoltz and steady finishing from Caroline Charles and Kyra Schanck. Telstar responded in the second (21-17) through Inès Sarah Kambire (Season PPG: 25.00) and Ketsiah Joy Dor (Season PPG: 21.55), trimming the gap to 38-45 at the break after an early timeout from coach Ivan Yeromin. The third quarter decided it. Résidence surged 26-15, fueled by Charles and Schanck inside, threes from Stoltz and Rachel Grivet (Season PPG: 14.20), and timely baskets by Isabella Burman, stretching the lead to 53-71. A 9-0 run to start the fourth (53-80) pushed the highest margin to 27 before closing out.
Stoltz led all scorers with 25 (three triples; Season PPG: 17.00). Charles added 21 (15, GBR), Schanck contributed 15 (15), while captain Ella Dentzer (16; Season PPG: 9.64) chipped in 9. Grivet hit two threes for 8. Telstar's production was shared: Kambire and Milla Lutgen (18) scored 13 each Lutgen with the team's lone three Dor had 10 and Rose Rosena Sanon Louarn (Season PPG: 7.64) posted 9, including three free throws. The 6-1 edge from deep and multiple scoring spurts, notably Stoltz's first-quarter sequence and the fourth-quarter 9-0, underpinned coach Filip Dukic's control of the game flow. Résidence has now won four straight; Telstar's three-game streak ends.
