Monaco, Voiron, and Nice have established a three-way tie at the top of the Ligue Féminine 2 standings, maintaining their undefeated status after three rounds of play following home victories against Rouen Bihorel, Mondeville, and Roche Vendée, BeBasket reported.
Julie Tétart Grabs 21 Rebounds to Lead Monaco Past Mondeville
Monaco Basket Association secured a 75–66 victory over USO Mondeville at the Gaston-Médecin venue, pulling away in the second half behind a standout performance from Julie Tétart. Tétart recorded 14 points, 21 rebounds, and 4 interceptions to anchor the hosts.
Monaco’s early-season statistics highlight their dominance on both ends of the floor. Through three games, the club holds a +113 point differential, boasting the division’s top offense at 90.7 points per game and its stingiest defense, allowing just 53.0 points on average.
Following the loss, Mondeville coach Morgan Debrosse pointed to offensive adjustments as a primary hurdle for his squad. « Le match est plein de bonnes promesses. Défensivement et dans l’intensité, on a proposé de belles choses. Mais on a manqué de vitesse offensive, face à une équipe qui est déjà bien en place », Debrosse noted in Ouest-France. « Nous, on ne l’est pas du tout. Notre retard est offensif parce que nos lignes ont bougé récemment. »
Daniela Dibanzilua Scores 33 Points in Voiron Rout
PVBC Voiron matched Monaco’s early form by dismantling Roche Vendée 98–49, driven by a historic shooting display from Daniela Dibanzilua. Dibanzilua tallied 33 points on 13-of-15 shooting from the field, adding 2 rebounds, 2 assists, and 4 interceptions in just 27 minutes of action to earn player of the week honors.
The guard’s 37-efficiency rating matched the individual scoring high for the division this season, equaling the mark set by Feytiat’s Chloé Macé during the opening weekend. Voiron currently holds the second-ranked offense and defense in Ligue Féminine 2.
Pauline Lanfant Powers Undefeated Nice Past Rouen Bihorel
Cavigal Nice rounded out the leading trio with a 75–60 win over Rouen Bihorel. Coming off a campaign that saw them struggle near the relegation zone last year, the Niss’Angels leaned on Pauline Lanfant’s 27 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 assists.
Nice will look to protect its unblemished record next Saturday when the team travels to face La Roche-sur-Yon.
Feytiat and Promoted Sides Secure Victories as Bottom Four Seek First Wins
Elsewhere in the division, Feytiat notched its first victory of the campaign by defeating Montbrison 76–54 at home. Promoted clubs Trith and Geispolsheim also defended home court successfully, topping the Pôle France 70–59 and Saint-Amand 67–64, respectively.
Aulnoye delivered the lone away win of the weekend, defeating Champagne Basket Féminin 83–67. Meanwhile, Saint-Amand, Roche Vendée, Rouen Bihorel, and the Pôle France remain winless after three rounds.
