For this duel between two teams who found themselves in the quarter-finals of the last play-offs, Union Neuchâtel coach Mitar Trivunovic still had to do without the services of Dalan Ancrum, Juan Esteban de La Fuente and Thomas Salman, all injured.
Despite these absences, the Neuchâtelois were able to stay in contact with their opponent, even passing the shoulder at the start of the second half. Led by a great Darious Moten with his 27 points, the Riveraine team was able to maintain its advantage until the end of the game.
After this first success of the year, the Riveraine players temporarily moved up to 7th place in the rankings. They will try to continue this momentum against Pully-Lausanne next Saturday, still at Riveraine. /gjo
