Ligue Féminine 2 basketball news
|
For Aurélie Lopez and Pau Lacq Orthez the basketball news of this season has been about their difficulty in winning basketball games.They have failed to build on their good start to 2011 and are the first team to be mathematically relegated this season after losing this weekend.
Pau Lacq Orthez, playing at home, had the best of the first quarter against AL Aplemont Le Havre (22-20).
However six minutes without scoring and conceding 11 points (22-31) in the second quarter marked the end of the match for Pau Lacq Orthez.
Lopez's team managed a total of 22 points for the rest of the game while Le Havre cruised to victory (76-44) with former Wake Forest player Alexandra Tchangoue (right) scoring 23 points and dishing out 5 assists.
Lyon BF missed the opportunity to wrap up the Ligue Féminine 2 title and book their ticket for the LFB next season by losing on the road to Roche-Vendée (51-52).
Roche-Vendée scored just 3 points in a rather defensive final quarter. Slovak Republic international Gabreila Kubatova who scored 15 points and picked up 10 rebounds was the player of the match for the hosts.
Roche-Vendée can still stop Lyon from winning the regular season title provided they win their last five games and Lyon do not win again.
