On Saturday, Charleville had a surprisingly easy time with Mondeville, doubling them up 96-48. Lattes Montpellier is still well in contention for first place as Sarah Michel led them to an 81-69 win over Courtney Hurt and Nice. Bourges remains tied with them after a 72-62 win over Lyon. The best efforts of Marie-Bernadette Mbuyama-Tshimanga were not enough for Calais as they lost 62-49 to Hainaut and continue to hover perilously close to the bottom of the standings. On Sunday, Nantes looked to keep themselves in a safe position as a balanced effort helped defeat Chatilla Van Grinsven and Arras 91-65. Villeneuve continues to fight for those last playoff spots with a 69-54 win over Angers. Landes is also in contention as Iva Sliskovic led them to a 67-43 win over Toulouse.
