Champagne Basket wins with pain, but always wins in N1F

Under-paced, behind defensively on almost all actions this Saturday, October 26, the Marnaises were punished by offering easy baskets to their opponent, who took control (5-13, 4^e). Thanks to their 3-point skill, the Northerners maintained their lead (12-23, 10^e). In the second quarter, under the leadership of leader Lauryn Vieira, the Rémoises increased the tempo and successfully brought the ball into the interior game. Thanks to a 13-0, they got back together (25-25, 16^e) and reached the break with a short lead (33-32). Everything remained to be done.

The Glacerie in the viewfinder

Despite too many blunders, Matthieu Trouvay’s players managed to widen a significant gap in the 3^e quart (57-41, 30^e) facing the modest visitors. In a rough end to the match, they maintained their lead until the final whistle (68-54).

With a fifth victory in as many matches, Champagne Basket Féminin will go to Normandy next Saturday to challenge La Glacerie for pole position.

Matthew TROUVAY (CBF coach): “We won, which is good, but we cannot be satisfied with this kind of performance, both in the basketball content defensively and offensively, but also in the attitudes. This is a hole in our progress, I am disappointed and I am waiting for a reaction. »

Olivier SCHELLAERT (Coach Escaudain): “We started the match well with a good defensive alternation. Afterwards, we gave them too many 2s^es chances on the rebound, it costs us the victory. »
