Basket Esch left Walfer with a clear 92-75 win over Résidence Walferdange, built on a dominant second quarter and long-range accuracy. After a tight first frame (20-19 Esch), Karim Elbaoune's team broke the game open before halftime with a 36-17 second quarter. Estelle Birnbaum caught fire with two early triples and 10+ points in the period, Ajla Adrovic added two threes, and Esch closed the half on a 6-0 burst (back-to-back baskets from Kim Ferron and a layup by Emel Mustafic) to lead 56-36.
Résidence, coached by Christophe Fiegen, responded after the break, taking the third 19-15 behind captain Jill Stoltz (14 pts, 6/6 FT), Caroline Charles (17) and Treyscha Boayue (16). Charles (15, GBR) drilled a key triple and Rachel Grivet added another to trim the gap, but Esch managed the margin and never let it drop under the mid-teens. The visitors' highest lead reached 23 (88-65). Birnbaum (29, five threes) eventually fouled out in the fourth, yet the outcome was already decided.
Esch's perimeter made the difference: 10 three-pointers (Birnbaum 5, Adrovic 4, Lana Clausi 1) against Résidence's 3. Adrovic contributed 24, Ferron 14 and Lys Valentin 11 for the winners. Résidence stayed aggressive at the line (20 made FTs), with Maella Fatima Faye adding 13. Serena De Jesus Marques (13, PRT) and Isabel Pizzutto gave minutes off the bench.
In the table, Résidence sit 3rd (1-2), while Esch climb to 4th (1-2) and halt a two-game losing start to their campaign.
