French League Round 4 November 18th-19th
One game in this round was played on Friday with the rest on Saturday ahead of the international break. The schedule has been tough for Toulouse, but they are still acquitting themselves quite nicely even after a 66-57 loss to Bourges. The early game on Saturday had Villeneuve-d’Ascq handing Lattes Montpellier their first loss 82-69. Marine Johannes and Lyon stayed perfect with an 87-76 win over Angers. Landes was close to that elusive first win, but found themselves edged out by Ana Suarez and Roche late 76-75. They are the last winless team because Jaisa Nunn and Landerneau surprised Sara Chevaugeon and Charlevilles-Mezieres 74-67. Iva Slonjsak and Saint-Amand had the better first half, but Yohana Ewodo and Marie-Paule Foppossi helped Tarbes surge out of the break to win 93-89.
