It was not until the end of November that Villeneuve d’Ascq, reigning French champion, won his first match of the LFB season. But it’s done. This Saturday, November 23, for the 7th day of the championship, ESBVA-LM won on the floor of La Roche Vendée 82 to 71. Rachid Meziane’s team continues after its success against Polkowice in the EuroLeague.
By relying on its entire collective – the nine players scored between 4 and 14 points – the northern collective quickly took off (13-26, 10′) before suffering the return of the locals in the third quarter-time (27-15, 56-55 score). But they were able to bounce back to achieve a first success which allowed them to leave last place to their hosts of the evening, along with Chartres.
Bourges and ASVEL surprised
In the other meetings, if Lattes-Montpellier did not weaken on the floor of Tarbes (61-71) with another excellent Dulcy Fankam Mendjiadeu (23 points and 12 rebounds), Bourges lost to Charleville-Mézières (91 -86) and ASVEL Féminin at home against Landerneau (67-83). The Berruyères suffered from the skill of Flammes Carolo (11/25 at 3-points) and in particular their former player Ornella Bankole (20 points). As for ASVEL, their difficult return from the Czech Republic undoubtedly played a role but Landerneau above all confirmed its great competitiveness. Guided by Laura Evrard (12 assists) and relying on Evelyn Akhator (21 points and 12 rebounds), the Breton collective took the measure of the Rhodaniennes as the match progressed to pull away after the break . “I put it down to travelestimated coach Yoann Cabioc’h. We didn’t have the energy available.”he added. Kekelly Elenga’s injury also handicapped ASVEL internally.
With Bourges’ second defeat (5 victories), Angers and Charnay find themselves alone at the top of the LFB with 5 victories and 1 defeat before facing each other this Sunday. Basket Landes (4 wins and 2 losses) hopes to come back to match the Tangos and the team beaten in the leaders’ duel. To do this, Chartres will have to be ruled out (1 victory and 5 defeats).
