Women’s league. Angers – Landerneau BB, this Saturday (8 p.m.)
For this last match of the first round, Landerneau travels to Angers, a promoted who occupies 6th place and makes a remarkable start to the year. Nobody expected Angers so well classified for its return to the League. The Finistériennes, hardly spared from fate since September, between injuries and the defection of Muldrow, no longer really have a choice if they do not want to know the stress of the “play-downs” at the end of the season, we must win matches, starting with this one.
Rookie Ify Ibekwe will play
On paper, the opponent of the day is quite acceptable, but unlike Landerneau, he will undoubtedly play more liberated in view of his ranking. The Landernian coach Wani Muganguzi therefore expects a close meeting: “For me, Angers is in its place in the middle of the table, it is a club which has known the high level, which has a valuable coach (David Gautier) , former high level player and assistant in the French team and who made a good recruitment. Our new recruit, Ify Ibekwe, is qualified and will play this Saturday evening. This match is important to us. A victory would allow us to stay in touch with the Top 8, which is our goal. However, we should be wary of point guard Peterson and scorers Slonjsak and Bailey ”.
Important from an accounting point of view, a victory in Angevin soil would also be important in terms of confidence, especially since the arrival of the Nigerien Ibekwe should densify the Landernean presence under the circles and free up space for Amukamara or Galliou-Loko , regular long-distance scorers in addition to the Limouzin – Brémont tandem. However, it will really be necessary to watch the micro-leader Peterson (1.65 m), able to catch fire or serve Jasmine Bailey if she regains her pre-injury level.
