One game in this round had already been played, but Saturday’s games started with a scoring explosion as Helena Ciak led Lattes Montpellier past Villeneve 115-81. The score was more traditional in Landes’s 52-38 win over Tarbes. Mondeville finally picked up another win 76-55 at Nantes, but it may prove too late. Sara Chevaugeon helped Charleville dominate the second half to beat Roche 84-72. On Sunday, Kariata Diaby and Landerneau took advantage of shorthanded Lyon to win 87-86 despite the best efforts of Marieme Badiane and Ingrid Tanqueray as the leaders now risk getting pulled back into the chase pack.
