Undefeated in the play-offs, just like Chartres, the Haut-Garonne team has remarkable offensive power, led by former Chartrain player Nicole Enabosi.
On paper, Toulouse, relegated from the Women’s League at the end of last season, has one of the biggest teams in Ligue 2, with very strong individuals: Japreece Dean, Catherine Mosengo-Masa, Isabelle Strunc and the two former Chartraines Binta Drama (2020-2021) and Nicole Enabosi (2022-2023) are the spearheads. The last on the list comes from an extraordinary semi-final return match. By compiling 22 points, 16 rebounds and 8 assists for an incredible rating of 40, the American-Nigerian achieved the best performance of the year, regular season and play-offs combined.

7:55 p.m. | The Bluelights arrived in the play-offs more determined than ever!
A year after failing in the play-off final against Charnay. The experience, confidence and support of the public will weigh heavily in the balance when it comes to treading the floor of the Coliseum this evening for the first leg against the formidable Toulouse. Reaching this stage of the competition twice in a row is already an achievement, as the competition is tough in Ligue 2.
And at the end of a regular season where they toppled mountains, like against the leader Aulnoye who had gone 17 matches without losing, the Bluelights arrived in the play-offs sharper than ever and, above all, collectively formidable. And feared. Because that is where the strength of this team lies: in a collective where all the players have found their place and which has one of the best bench lengths in the league.After winning the first round in Montbrison (53-57), Saturday April 20, the girls of C’Chartres BF confirmed, Wednesday April 24, by winning against the Loire team (80-61), in a melting Colosseum, in front of nearly 3,000 spectators.
