It’s a convincing victory that the girls of Ossun won against a rather well-equipped opponent.
A victory acquired thanks to a constant commitment, particularly under the circles. And with a found Cindy Carcaillon, the one who causes the faults and who scores.
But we got a little worried at the start, seeing Salies go ahead when ours missed the target (0-5.3′).
But Astrid Castaing sounded the revolt, and in three minutes the BCO breathed much better (12-5). He rounded the first buoy with a small lead (17-14). That he made fruit from the start of the second with Séverine Rodriguez and a shot from the corner of Cindy Carcaillon (25-14). But Salies gave away his great Lucile Castex and came back very close (25-21, 15th), before coming back fully into the game at the time of the break (32-31).
Samomé Barraud even put the visitors in pole position on the restart (34-36). But Ossun in the fight quickly regained control before gradually breaking away at the end of the third period (57-44).
An advantage confirmed by following an untenable Cindy Carcaillon (66-48, 36th). A “friendly discussion” sent Manon Vigneau and Salomé Barraud back to the bench, Astrid Castaing taking the same path a little later. But the main thing was done and done well.
