It was the last day of the regular season and all games tipped off simultaneously with postseason places still on the line. Queralt Casas and Nantes beat Nice 78-69 in one of the important games of the day, leaving the visitors in a difficult position after such a positive season. Bourges had no trouble with Arras in an 85-46 win. Also in the playoff places, Villeneuve beat Lattes Montpellier 69-58 although both teams were already set in the standings and getting ready for their next games. Hainaut beat Lyon 66-61 with Pauline Akonga-Nsimbo leading the way, but it did not end up being enough for them to make the Challenge Round. Charleville took advantage of the opening left by the team above them and grabbed the last playoff spot with a 77-57 win over Angers. Toulouse finished making sure there was separation between them and the bottom two teams as Antonija Misura led them to a 102-74 win over last place Calais. Mondeville fell short 71-65 to Landes to also eliminate any chances of a Challenge Round place.
