Following a dominant regular season in the Wonderligue and a strong performance in the Euroleague Final 6, Basket Landes delivered a commanding display to win the Coupe de France final. The team’s victory, with contributions from all ten players, firmly establishes them as the premier French women’s basketball team. While Leïla Lacan was awarded MVP, the standout player of the match was Alexis Peterson from the losing side, who scored 28 points.
Fueled by enthusiastic supporters, Basket Landes took an early lead. The opposing team, after a strategic timeout, managed to equalize briefly before Basket Landes regained control, ending the first quarter with a slight advantage thanks to a buzzer-beater by Alexis Peterson. Leïla Lacan then took charge, extending Basket Landes’ lead significantly by halftime. Despite Peterson’s impressive scoring efforts, which kept her team in contention, Basket Landes maintained a substantial lead throughout the second half. The final quarter became a formality, with Villeneuve managing to narrow the scoreline slightly. The return of Basket Landes’ jubilant supporters was a fitting end to a triumphant performance.
