French Cup (16th final). Strasbourg (L2) – Landrneau (LFB): 79-69
The SIG did not miss the start of the match against the Landernéennes, big favorites of the match, in the wake of the duo Cardenal-Harris (13-10, 8th). Without their captain Virginie Bremont, the Women’s League residents are picking up the pace. Formidable the Breton speech at half distance with an unsustainable Chloé Wells, the defense leaves few solutions to the Illkirchoises and Landerneau passes in front (15-25, 10th then 19-29, 12th).
Even when faced with a team hierarchically superior to it, the GIS does not intend to lower the flag so quickly. By exerting strong defensive pressure, the Alsatians returned to the lead (39-33, 19th) and allowed themselves the luxury of being ahead at half time (41-35).
The SIG increases the advantage on the return from the locker room (46-35, 23rd), forcing Wani Muganguzi, Landerneau’s coach, to quickly stop the game, Harris continues to dominate in the racket and Cardenal stabs the Breton defense (57-42, 27 ). Touched, but not sunk, the Bretons finally regain their senses and find solutions to be recovered in a match (58-56, 31st).
El Garti misses the … first three-point basket of the match at the start of this last quarter (61-56, 32nd). In continuity, the SIG finds the way and above all a margin of twelve points ahead (69-57, 35 °). Landerneau tries to recover (71-66, 38th) but the Illkirchoises remain solid and qualify for the next round (79-69).
