On the basketball court, nothing is going well for Reims BF at the moment. Their loss over the weekend to SO Armentières (75-95) leaves them two games behind the rest of the teams in the relegation battle at the bottom of the table.
Mia Fisher whose French career started in Reims with 19 points and 6 assists was the player of the match.
Limoges lost at home to Roche Vendée (52-68). It was a poor third quarter in which they scored just 5 points allowing their guests to take command of the game and push them back into the regulation zone.
Roche Vendée are now on level terms with Limoges in the regular season standing with 16 points.
It is not easy playing basketball for Perpignan with the pressure as pre-season favourites, community work and school for some.
However all this did not stop them from making it seven wins in a row by winning on the road against Léon Trégor (65-58). Fatou Dieng was the hero of the match with a perfect 4-of-4 from behind the arc in her 19-point and 3-assist display.
Toulouse on the other hand lost their place alone at the top with a home defeat against Dunkerque Malo (67-71).
Dunkerque trailed for most of the match but sneaked the win with panache during the last 90 seconds. While Dace Pierre-Joseph with her 26 points which included a perfect 14-of-14 from the free-throw line will take any player of the match award, her team-mates produced the team's best collective game of the season.
COB Calais are still one of the favourites for promotion from Ligue Féminine 2 and despite their dominance just managed to overcome Le Havre (61-68).
Le Havre, hosting the game, had a terrible game in scoring as they only converted 28% of their shots while Calais had a better shooting percentage and also five players in double digits.
Although COB Calais and Toulouse have the same points as Perpignan, it has to be said that Perpignan are the new leaders because they have played one game less due to no fault of theirs. Had this game been played Perpignan would have had a least one more point.
