After being eliminated by Tarbes in the quarter-final of the Women’s League on Monday April 22, Bourges brilliantly won the Coupe de France in Bercy against Basket Landes (76-63).
It was the final goal of a historic season. Historic because Bourges will not see the last four of the Women’s League playoffs. A first since 1993. But this Saturday, April 27, in Bercy, in front of many Berruyer supporters who made the trip, the Tango saved their season.
A 13-point victory thanks to an excellent Kayla Alexander, author of 22 points and 15 rebounds! After three balanced first quarters, the teammates of Sarah Michel-Boury, who played her last match in her orange colors, were able to make the difference in the fourth quarter (25-13).
Five years after its last Coupe de France, Berruyères won their 12th Coupe de France in the club’s history. They are qualified in the Euroleague.
“I don’t have the words. It’s incredible. We wanted to finish in style with this cup. We did the job, we put all the heart we could into it. I’m proud of everyone”reacted the leader Alix Duchet, to the microphone of our colleagues at Skweek at the end of the match.
