After winning everything this season, they certainly didn’t want to let this final pass. Their final at home, in front of their supporters. The match was not perfect but the evening will remain memorable for Carquefou who won the Coupe des Pays de la Loire against La Séguinière (60-46).
“Whatever the level, the emotion of success is always the same”
The Carquefoliennes took advantage of the inefficiency of their opponents, who did not score for eight minutes, to take the lead from the start (13-3). An advantage that they maintained for a good while in a game that was rather choppy due to the number of fouls called. Half of the points were then made on free throws where both teams were rather successful.
The ten-point gap did not change for a long time. We had to wait until the 4the quarter-time for the match to get underway. In the space of a few minutes, the Maine-et-Loire players came together, scoring in quick succession (45-42). The tension was palpable, the game was unbridled and the room exploded for each point scored. The knockout was close.
The deliverance came by 4 points for Carquefou. Marine Brochoire then Lea Richard blew up the Jean-Gauvrit gymnasium.
As a symbol, Morgane Stein, who had cruciate surgery in January, concluded the deal with three points.
“It’s just like the season, it’s magical”
“To even touch a ball was unthinkable! I didn’t think and heard the room explode. I saw the look on my teammates’ faces, it’s like the season, it’s magical,” confided the latter with a lot of emotion.
For coach Rodolphe Manhe, the joy brought by this Cup is unparalleled.Whatever the level, the emotion of success is always the same. I have even more admiration for these girls who played 31 matches with only three training sessions per week. Basketball is above all the dynamism of a club, the joy brought to people.
