The first 10 minutes of the game were fast and furious as both teams more or less traded basket for basket. Ingrid Bunel with 6 points was the locomotive of Pau despite being on the wrong end of a Jeanne Senghor-Sy smash.

For Cavigal Nice everybody seemed to be scoring although 
Fabienne Constant led the way with 6 points as her side edged the first quarter (19-17).

Cavigal Nice scored 7 quick points to start the second quarter as they stepped on the gas. It was one-way traffic for the first part of the quarter with Nice opening up a double-digit lead (31-19) with 15 minutes played.

Rachid Meziane, the Cavigal Nice coach was able to turn his roster for the rest of the quarter. The Niss'Angels went into the break satisfied with a commanding advantage (40-26) with all the players who entered the court scoring.

The second half took off the same way the first one ended with the Niss'Angels working like a well oiled machine with unselfish and intelligent plays while Pau-Lacq-Orthez were struggling offensive wise. Going into the fourth quarter Cavigal Nice were in front by 23 points (61-38) with the last three-ball coming from Margaux Okou-Zouzou.

In the last quarter the match played itself out as Pau could not counter Nice and suffered a (78-55) defeat while Nice can have a well deserved rest for their Sunday encounter against Angers.

Les Niss'Angels "en tournée"

Seulement les dix premières minutes Pau était capable de faire face à Anaïs Déas et co-équipières pour être menée par 2 petits points (17-19).

Mais après c'était la show des Niss'Angels qui s'inspiraient de Fabienne Constant et de Alexandra Tchangue.

L'écart se creusait de plus en plus, à mi-temps (40-26) et à la fin de la rencontre Nice gagnait facilement (78-55) pour se laisser congratuler par ses fans pour une nouvelle fois d'être dans la finale dans une Final Four en LF2.
