On Saturday 11 October 2025, three matches were played on Game Day 4 of the Women’s Enovos League regular season, with fixtures taking place across Luxembourg.

In the central match, Basket Esch, 1-1 after two games, hosted leaders T71 Dudelange, unbeaten in three. The visitors underlined their status early, taking the first two quarters to lead 44-35 at half-time.

Esch flipped the script in the third. The hosts put up 21 points while holding Dudelange to eight, led by the backcourt of Jovana Jaksic - seven points in the quarter, Katia Jemming - six and Kyra Coulon - five. Esch headed into the final period 56-52 up.

“We missed a lot of easy baskets today, free throws, mid-range looks and finishes in the paint, and we let Esch keep their confidence,” T71 head coach Mathieu Pierre Fivet told Chronicle.lu. “They shot well from outside, especially Katia, who was very good today.”

Midway through the fourth, T71 levelled and edged back in front, but neither side could pull away. With 40 seconds left, two free throws from Beatriz Ines Gomes Jordao put Dudelange up by three, only for Esch to draw up a timeout play and Coulon to hit a clutch three to force overtime at 73-73.

In the extra period, T71 finally pressed home their advantage. Lauren Anne Van Kleunen scored the first basket of OT to restore the lead. Esch trimmed the gap to a single point but could not turn the tide, and Dudelange closed out a 79-75 win. “In overtime we stayed strong mentally,” added coach Fivet. “After that last shot in regulation and the timeout situation, it was difficult, but we kept going and won an important game.”

In the day’s other matchup, Amicale Steinsel, beaten on opening day, recorded a third straight win, defeating Musel Pikes 83-53 away. The hosts were led by captain Julie Nilles with eighteen points, but Amicale had two double-doubles: Desiree Genevieve Ramos scored fifteen points and fourteen rebounds, and A’lexus Shaquann Harrison added eleven points and fourteen rebounds. Steinsel now sit one point behind leaders T71 Dudelange.
