French League Round 14 January 24th-28th
The last game from Round 7 was played on Wednesday under a special set of rules to prevent Tarbes from gaining significant advantages from the original postponement so they were missing star players and Lauren Scherf and Charleville-Mezieres won 73-53. This round started on Saturday with a cup rematch that saw Kamiah Smalls and Villeneuve-d’Ascq prevail this time 85-68 over Bourges. Ameryst Alston led Lattes Montpellier past Charnay 90-74. Tarbes had no roster restrictions, including Marie-Paule Foppossi being allowed to play and defeated Saint-Amand 83-55. Gabby Williams paced Lyon in an 82-60 win over Charleville-Mezieres. Alexis Peterson led Landes to an 84-71 win against her former team Angers. An important game on Sunday in the battle to stay in the league saw Nausia Woolfolk’s efforts for Landerneau not be quite enough in their 78-75 loss to Roche.
