The beautiful mechanics have broken down somewhere, and the Aiglonnes have been in the red for a few weeks now.
Facing the Tourangelles from Chambry, the Niçoises managed the first half well (ending 15-11), only to be caught up in the first part of the second half and overtaken in the last 10 minutes (23-25).
In fact, leading by 6 goals and losing by 2 is symptomatic of a general fatigue.
It should be noted that only 9 players made the trip, with many key players absent.
The defeat is recoverable, but will the Azuréennes have the physical strength and mentality to succeed?
We’ll find out on Friday the 9th at Charles Erhmann.
In goal, Sako is credited with 6 saves from 23 shots, and Colic with 1 from 9.
In play, Chambertin with 7 goals and Valente with 6 were the most prolific.
