Fombonne hit a shot from the land of many for Dunkerque with just under four minutes to play to take the lead (61-60) it was all over for the hosts. Sonia Adler fired in a second trey and Marianne Dia continued to cause havoc in the paint. Aude Kernevez did all she could for the hosts to try and save the game but it was not enough. Maybe if Naignouma Coulibaly was not playing for Mali at AfoBasket the result might have been different.
