Due to numerous cases of covid within the various women’s League A squads, only three out of seven matches were able to take place this Saturday on behalf of the 17th day. And the three meetings ended in victories in three sets. Starting with Mulhouse, which is one point behind the leader Le Cannet after its success over St-Raphaël (5th): 25-18, 25-14, 25-17 in 1h17. Apart from the start of the first set (5-6), the Alsaciennes led from start to finish during this match and were able to count on a 15-point Anna Haak (9pts for Olena Lymareva and Nikki Taylor on the Var side). No problem either for Cannes, fourth, winner 3-0 on the ground of France Avenir 2024, the red lantern. The Cannoises won 17-25, 18-25, 22-25 in 1h18, planning at the start of each set before reversing the trend. Eva Zatkovic finished with 18 points for the Azuréennes and Nawelle Chouikh with 9 for the young French women.

A duo carries Paris

Finally, Paris-St-Cloud (9th) disposed of Chamalières (12th) also with a score of 3-0: 25-21, 25-22, 25-19 in 1h33. Like the Cannoises, the Parisiennes were rewarded at the start of each set before winning them quite easily. Elina Rodriguez and Julie Oliveira won this Parisian success, with 15 points each, Diaris Perez is content with 10 points for the Auvergnates. The next day of Women’s League A will take place next Saturday, and the match between Vandoeuvre-lès-Nancy and Marcq-en-Baroeul has already been postponed.
