The Laval women, deprived of Diakhité (sprain), retained their place as leader of the group, this Sunday, November 10, by dominating Crossac. A way to get back on track after the defeat against Carquefou.
However, things were off to a bad start at the start of the meeting. Clumsy in front of the circle, the Laval women quickly fell behind by almost ten points (7-16, 7′). Which forced their coach, Jean-François Guilleux, to quickly take his first time out. Which had the merit of getting their players back into the game to stabilize the gap (18-24, 14′). Without being any more brilliant in the game.
Defense to accelerate
We had to wait until the locker room returned to see the Laval women show a different face. By making defensive stops, they took a ten-length lead, at the cost of a 7-0 past Crossac (35-26, 27′).
If the visitors tried to react and stay in contact, the Mayennaises took the cursor up a notch again to take off definitively and sign a success broader than the appearance of the meeting.
