Traveling on the Opal Coast, the Illkirchoises lost in Calais on behalf of the 16th day (68-56). A big blow in the second half and a price before the reception of Mondeville.

And yet the players of Fabien Kaerle had taken this meeting from the good end by returning to the locker room with a clear advantage (27-35). Bas-Rhinoises assuming their new status as Ligue 2 heavyweights, notably under the impetus ofEmma Peytour (17 points – 11 rating) andManuella Hatchi (8 points – 16 evaluation).

But that was without counting on the Calaisian reaction carried by Shakayla Thomas (29 points – 22 rating), player of the match. The “Ch’ties” will completely reverse the scenario of the match. It is even a slap that the Strasbourgeoises will take by conceding a “-20” during the last two quarters (41-21).

Consequences in the classification, Calais is still relegated but is relaunching in its maintenance operation (10th – 4 wins – 12 losses) while the SIG misses the opportunity to regain second place (3rd – 10 wins – 6 losses). Next meeting for the Alsaciennes, the Salle de Mondeville (2nd) at the Hall de la Poste, Saturday 8 p.m.
