Gréngewald Hueschtert took a one-point road win, 60-59, in a game that turned twice and was decided on the last key possession.
T71 Dudelange B controlled the opening stretch well. Coach Lynn Biever's team led 24-18 after the first quarter and pushed the margin to 34-20 in the second, their highest lead of the afternoon. Shari Von Arx (Season PPG: 11.24) was the main engine with 28 points, and Veena Burgund (Season PPG: 7.76) added 16, giving T71B strong offensive production from the backcourt.
GRE stayed composed and changed the rhythm before halftime. The visitors closed the second quarter with 8 points in a row to cut the deficit to 34-28. That run carried into the third period: Gréngewald opened the half with 5 straight points to get back to 34-33, then Sophie Dupong (Season PPG: 9.94) fired them in front at 38-36. The 13-year-old Yadanar Mamou Greenhalgh (Season PPG: 20.36) was central to that comeback and finished with 24 points.
T71B answered well and rebuilt a 49-43 lead by the end of the third quarter, but the last period belonged to GRE. Dupong, Greenhalgh and Fatou-Imane Ba (Season PPG: 7.20) kept the pressure on, and the visitors tied the game at 51-51, then again at 58-58. Von Arx put T71B ahead 59-58 with 2 late free throws, yet Gréngewald still found the winner: Maria Alesia Basalo Rangel (Season PPG: 2.69) scored the decisive basket for 60-59.
Dupong finished with 17 points for coach Bojan Eric's side, while Ba added 8. In the phase finale standings, T71B are now 2nd and GRE 3rd, with both teams gaining one place.
