After their victory against the Piraths last Wednesday (28-31), the Niรงoises faced Mรฉrignac tonight for the seventh day of the women’s handball championship.
Last in the standings, Mรฉrignac Handball was not really favored before facing a Nice team that had found its way back to victory three days earlier: ” We earned three points in a packed arena; it was incredible to play in this atmosphere. It’s a good thing to find the path to victory, but it’s only the first step. We want to continue this momentum for as long as possible,” said the goalkeeper Marija Colic, not underestimating her evening’s opponent: “Mรฉrignac is a team I respect a lot. But we are going there to win. They have been through tough times, but sometimes, it’s these tough times that make the team stronger. That’s why we must be cautious and approach this match very seriously.“
An exhilarating encounter from start to finishย
Led by a great Ehsan (5 goals from 6 shots), the first half went in favor of the Aiglonnes, who edged out by just one point (14-15). It was in the second period that Mรฉrignac turned up the intensity to finally secure the win thanks to a frantic pace: the Foudroyantes ultimately triumphed (33-29).
