Auch BC Faces Crucial Nationale 3 Match Against Hagetmau This Sunday
A pivotal matchup for the Auch BC women’s basketball team is set for this Sunday, December 7th, at 3:30 p.m. as they host the formidable Landaises of Hagetmau for the 10th day of Nationale 3 competition. The game, taking place at the Mathalin Hall in Auch, represents the final contest of the year for Lisa Taitard and her teammates.
The upcoming game presents a valuable opportunity for supporters of the Auch BC girls, particularly given the limited number of home games played in the first half of the season – only three to date. Fans are anticipated to fill the Mathalin Hall to cheer on their team.
Currently holding eighth place in the Nationale 3 standings with a record of four wins and five losses, Auch BC will face a challenging opponent in Hagetmau Momuy Castaignos Basket (HMCB), who are ranked just above them. Experts suggest that Landes basketball consistently delivers competitive play, making this mid-table clash a game worth watching.
A key factor in the upcoming match is Hagetmau’s struggles on the road. According to reports, the Landaises have secured only one victory away from home this season, a 48-66 win at Pessac on November 16th. They followed that with a home victory last Sunday against Coteaux du Luy, winning 53-50.
However, Auch BC enters the game with momentum of its own, hoping the home court advantage at the Mathalin Hall will reverse a recent trend of two consecutive road defeats. The team is currently grappling with injuries to key players Lucile Castex, Romane Broqua, and Célia Rilcy, which are beginning to impact their performance.
The stakes are high for the Auscitaines. A win would solidify their position in the middle of the table, while a loss could see them fall towards the bottom of the league standings. The game begins Sunday at 3:30 p.m. at the Mathalin hall in Auch.
