Open LFB day 2 - Basket and the City 3
The next match between Challes-les-Eaux and Mondeville was won by the audacity of Corinne Benintendi who changed her side’s system at will and made life difficult for Mondeville. In the opening phase of the game Challes spread their offensive duties while Mondeville relied solely on Digbeu who scored the first 8 of the 10 points of her team in the first quarter. Then after the duo Davenport-Jackson from Challes started to run the show and even when they were not effective Luptakova was there to pick up the pieces, supported by her team-mates, which forced Mondeville to shoot from far out with marginal success. Challes looked sharper and more organised than their opponents and deservedly won the match (74-59). To end the Open Bourges took on Calais. Bourges’ coach Pierre Vincent decided to start the match with two new players Snell (who only had arrived during the week) and Petrovic (18-year-old Serbian international). It took his players some time to get into the game but then the first period became very lively and exciting with Calais replying to Bourges’ attacks with fast breaks from Hardy and Cibert. Nonetheless the experienced Bourges crew slowly quenched Calais’ fire and went on to win easily (89-63).
