Three days after their big success in the EuroCup, it was a repeat performance for BLMA, who easily won against Roche Vendée (80-51) and took second place in the championship.

As easy as the first basket. While the match had only just started for three seconds, Berniès launched Rabot behind the Roche Vendée defense to score the first points of the match. A mischievous shot right from the start of the game that spoke volumes about how it would unfold. BLMA was never worried by the visitors to the point that the game was already over at half-time with a 24-point lead (50-26, 20th).

A difference that was made from the first minutes of the match. BLMA took the lead in the first quarter (20-6, 8th) in particular thanks to another good shot from Garance Rabot (10 pts at half-time with 50% success), always tireless. Limouzin was also very enterprising (9 pts, five assists and two interceptions), but the most prominent player by far was Elodie Niagre, unstoppable against the Vendéennes. The Guadeloupean shot a series of successful shots, including four from behind the line, to finish the game with 21 points.

BLMA rock solid

In defense, the Gazelles perfectly covered the racket by leaving the outsides open. Without much consequence since the percentage of the visitors did not exceed 15% of success, with no less than 26 attempts awarded. “In defense, we torment the teams in front” , estimates the BLMA coach Valéry Demory. The latter allowed the two youngsters of the group (Brun and Keita) to benefit by bringing them on in the last five minutes, given the gap in the score which was swelling and swelling (70-35, 32nd).

Very serious and diligent, Lattes-Montpellier dominated the Roche Vendée team at ease, Sunday. A success which allows the Gazelles to climb to the last place in the ranking, just one victory behind the leader Bourges. Enough to satisfy coach “Valé”: “For ten days, we have been stepping up a gear. I think the warning from Chartres has done us some good.”
