Charleville-Mézières – Landerneau: 72-56 / Watch the match again
The winner of this opposition had the opportunity to stay in contact with the podium with the pressure of moving away from it in the event of a setback. Firmly anchored defensively (15 interceptions, 36 points scored after a lost ball), the Flames provided a bulwark against the Finisteres by widening the gap in the second period with a major impact from Tiffany Clarke (22 points, 6 rebounds, 5 interceptions) and Noémie Brochant (16 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 interceptions). A success at home which allows the Ardennes club to bounce back after the fall at Lattes Montpellier and remain in the leading pack behind the leader Basket Landes.
Chartres – Charnay : 92-101 / Watch the match again
The Coliseum was the scene of an offensive deluge between Bluelights and Pinkies. Playing on the surprise by setting the pace of the match like Jasmine Bailey (20 points, 11 rebounds), Chartres will not be able to maintain its lead suffering the return of Sara Chevaugeon, incandescent (29 points, 3 assists), and the Pinkies. A big gap which will push the difference to almost 15 units before a Chartres return which will end in mano a mano in the last moments, with Charnay ultimately in the advantage.
Villeneuve d’Ascq – Lattes Montpellier: 91-81 / Watch the match again
Warriors and Gazelles met at the Palacium for a duel at the top. In the end, it is Maxime Bézin’s players who will have the last word. Struggling to outrun the BLMA and its golden youth (19 points for Sarah Cisse and Nell Angloma), it will be necessary to wait until the last act for Emmanuelle Tahane (22 points, 8 rebounds) and hers to impose their law, in particular with their long distance address. The ESBVA-LM therefore bounces back in front of its audience and remains firmly in the race behind the podium with still a match in hand on the clock.
Basketball Landes – Bourges : 60-69 / Watch the match again
Bringing down the reigning champion at home is far from easy. But Bourges was able to put in the necessary ingredients, in line with recent weeks, to take the lead over a Landes group struggling offensively (31.3% shooting) and gradually widen the gap to 20 units (31-51, 27′) with its rear tandem Pouye (16 points) – Akoa Makani (15 points, 3 assists). The championship leader will attempt a final offensive to reverse the trend in the final minutes, coming back to five points (55-60, 38′), but it will not be enough. The Berruyère institution therefore offers itself a fifth success in a row and continues its rise in power to come just behind its opponent of the day in the ranking.
Lyon – Angers: 72-67 / Watch the match again
The duel between Lionesses and Angevines will have shaken the Palais des Sports. Although the LDLC ASVEL Féminin took the reins in the first half, the second part of the match will turn into a real battle to decide between the two teams, where the stakes were very high in the fight to leave the red zone. Led by a Dayshanette Harris at full throttle (20 points, 2 assists, 2 interceptions), Lyon will manage to make the difference with composure in this stifling scenario. A victory which brings the Rhone club back to the gates of the Top 8 tied on the balance sheet alongside Roche Vendée.
Roche Vendée – Toulouse: 83-74 / Watch the match again
The current momentum of the RVBC favors the Tigresses. Already on a very good run after the last two days, Roche Vendée did it again by standing up to Toulouse in a never-ending battle against the Pionnières. Stella Johnson, at the top of her art (34 points at 73.3% in 24 minutes), assisted by a decisive Laetitia Sahie (17 points, 3 rebounds), will be the X factors which will bring down the promoted to offer a third victory in a row to David Gautier’s group. A revenge which propels Roche Vendée to 8th place in the La Boulangère Wonderligue ranking.
