The Niss’Angels needed to secure a victory in Lyon to avoid losing the opportunity to enter the Top 8, which will compete in the play-offs, and they achieved this mission brilliantly.
The score was decisive, even though the victory only came into view in the last two quarters.
In the standings, the team from Nice is tied on points with Hainault (although they are at a disadvantage) and Nantes, who they will host next Saturday at Leyrit. Two of these three teams will qualify, while the third will play in the play-outs: indicating how harsh the consequence is!
To recap the Lyon match, here are some stats: Marie-Paule Foppiani took over from Mauculay as top scorer, with 18 points, followed by L. Kamba with 15, and A. Anderson with 10. C. Aubert had the most assists with 4.
As for the team: 26 out of 73 in shooting, 39 rebounds (Kamba with 8), 8 out of 12 free throws.
