Without a win in three league matches, Besançon bounced back at their Palais des Sports after an intense encounter against Nice (26-25).
Raphaëlle Tervel’s protégés showed character to overcome a solid team from the Côte d’Azur, who put up a tough fight.
Having led the scoreboard for nearly the entire match, the Bisontines never managed to create a comfortable lead (14-12 at halftime), but they succeeded in tipping the game in their favor in the very last seconds with a final goal from Alice Lêveque.
The ESBF back player came to her team’s rescue at the end of a nail-biting finish, which could have easily swung in favor of the Aiglonnes.
However, the Nice team lacked precision at key moments, preventing them from securing the three points from this thrilling encounter that lived up to expectations.
