Cathy Joens led the scoring with 18 points while Nwal-Endéné Miyem chipped in 16 points and had 9 rebounds. Céline Dumerc filled the stat sheet with 12 points, 9 assists and 7 rebounds.

Nantes Rezé who have not won a league match since the Open LFB in October also have off the court issues with Claire Stievenard having to leave the game with an injury.

La septième journée de la LFB :
De A, Angers à V, Villeneuve d'Ascq
La lanterne rouge, Angers a enfin la satisfaction de gagner un match
pendant que Tango Bourges Basket se met seul en haut du tableau, chassée
par un pack de trois équipes pendant qu'en bas du tableau il y a
Angers, Hainaut, Nantes Rezé et Toulouse avec qu'une victoire à leurs
comptes.
Arras, à domicile, prend le match par 1 point contre Charleville-Mézières (45-44) sous l'oeil d'Ardennes TV. C'est sa quatrième victoire dans cette saison. A remarquer sont les 23 rebonds de Naignouma Coulibaly pour Arras et Aurélie Carmona qui gagne le match avec le dernier panier.
La prestation de Lizanne Murphy avec 23 points porte cette fois-ci ses fruits pour Angers qui bat Tarbes (67-64).
Les Tangos reprennent la danse après leur défaite en Euroligue contre les Italiennes de Schio et gagnent facilement contre Hainaut Basket (83-39), emmenées par Cathy Joens (18 points), Nwal-Endéné Miyem (16 points et 9 rebonds) et leur capitaine Caps Dumerc (12 points, 9 passes décisives et 7 rebonds).
Les Niss'Angels prennent le dessus contre USO Mondeville (66-57) pendant que Basket Landes - sans Valériane Ayayi - gagne contre Toulouse Métropole (67-56).
Nantes Rezé se bat, reste coude à coude, mais à la fin laisse échapper une possible victoire dans le dernier quart quand Lattes-Montpellier prend enfin l'avantage pour gagner (80-65).
Les Lyonnaises mettent fin aux sans fautes des Nordistes, Villeneuve d'Ascq. Pendant le troisième quart, avec un 20-7, elles creusent l'écart avec Bintou Dieme (dans l'image) dans une forme excellente (22 points), épaulée par Mistie Bass (20 points).
