Rachid Méziane (Cavigal coach)
“We built with a young group, it’s the club’s policy, the training. Today, it’s a winning bet. I want to associate all the club’s contributors with this victory. The ‘young ones’ fulfilled their mission. Tonight, we’re going to savor it. For tomorrow (Ligue Féminine, starting September, Editor’s Note), we won’t make the same mistakes. It will be very complicated, but we have learned the lessons from our past adventures.”
Marie-Eve Paget (Cavigal point guard and captain, elected MVP)
“I am moved. It’s the culmination of a whole season that wasn’t easy. We finished first in the regular season, we fought and we were able to stand strong. It’s even more beautiful to win at home. It’s a personal revenge compared to the loss two years ago. It feels good to play in such a team.”
Laurence Laporte (Cavigal Basket president)
“And that makes three promotions! I hope that will be enough. We built the team in line with the project, it resembles what we want. It’s only work, work, and more work that brings this success. Tonight, we celebrate, and after that, it’s off to weeks of emails, calls, good deals to prepare for next season. To conclude, I announce that Nice will have its certified training center next July. This changes the financial outlook.”
Diego Noto (Cavigal Omnisports president)
“I am proud of the whole club: staff, players, managers, volunteers. It’s extraordinary, just look at the communication with this audience.”
Philippe Legname (Ligue Féminine president)
“It’s a beautiful champion. Cavigal has shown it all season with this first place in the championship. They struggled yesterday, a bit nervous, but today, there’s no doubt. We witnessed a very fine Final Four with four great matches.”
