Angers arrives at the international break alone at the helm of the Boulangère Wonderligue. The Maine-et-Loire team added a fifth victory on Saturday to its excellent start to the season, dominating promoted Chartres with difficulty (92-82).
Hanging for 34 minutes (78-77), Aurélie Bonnan’s players avoided the misstep and remained undefeated. On Saturday, they relied, among others, on Ameryst Alston (24 points) and Oumou Diarisso (17 points, 7 rebounds) to win Chartres in the last five minutes.
Clear winner of Villeneuve-d’Ascq (89-85) in the “real false” shock of the day, Bourges was able to count on Alix Duchet (20 points, 5 assists) to inflict a tenth defeat in as many official matches this season to the French champions, still burdened by absences (Carla Leite, Maïa Hirsch, Caroline Hériaud, Amina Gueye, Héléna Ciak), a fifth in the French Championship. The Northerners resisted three quarters before diving for good.
Charleville stop Lattes-Montpellier
Asvel achieved the performance of the evening by winning after overtime at the expense of Basket Landes in Lyon (89-85). Leila Lacan snatched extra time (78-78) after intercepting a ball two seconds from the gong.
The international full-back had the opportunity to do it again at the end of extra time when Asvel had regained a two-point lead but missed a double step two seconds from the end. The 24 free throws (out of 29) weighed heavily in the balance for the “Lionesses. »
Charnay also pocketed a fourth victory by dominating Roche Vendée (67-54) still without a victory, like Chartres and Villeneuve, while Charleville put an end to its bad series of three defeats and stopped Lattes-Montpellier (75-71). Tarbes won its first away success at Landerneau (75-62), beaten for the first time at home.
