Asvel, however led by 20 points at the end of the third quarter, could believe it until the end. David Gautier’s players made up much of their deficit in the final period with the hope of retaking Basket Landes, who ran in front for the entire match. The gap was too large to create the feat, it is indeed the defending champions who leave with the Coupe de France on Saturday (71-64).
The final kept all its promises in terms of intensity. With only 11 points in the first quarter, the defense was clearly there. The suspense too, since Lyon returned to four points less than a minute from the end. It was Regan Magarity’s basket, 30 seconds from the end and with the fault, which definitively extinguished the hopes of Gabby Williams (20 points) and her teammates.
Céline Dumerc, honored before the start of the game, scored 10 points in 26 minutes of play. The top scorer in the history of the Women’s League, who will turn 41 in July, won her seventh Coupe de France before does not arise, once again, the question of his retirement this summer.
