Mondeville beats Pôle Fédéral 91-52 to open basketball campaign

A Dominant Opening Performance Despite Absences

The final evaluation summary highlighted the vast gap between the two sides at the final buzzer. Mondeville capitalized on its defensive pressure to overwhelm the Pôle fédéral rotation from the opening tip. The victory arrived even as Mondeville played without a designated poste 5 player and lost Amali Montout to a left ankle sprain that will sideline her for three weeks. What is interesting is that you get the impression of seeing a team, even though we are still missing our poste 5 and Amali Montout, victim of a left ankle sprain, who is going to miss three weeks, Morgan Debrosse stated, as reported by Ouest-France. Despite that, the basketball we are offering is cool. All ten Mondeville players contributed points to the scoresheet. Kasongo led the scoring effort with 19 points, supported by Kiavi with 14 points, Saint-Juste with 13 points, Matima with 13 points, and Belleka with 12 points. Sadler added 8 points, N’Diaye contributed 4 points, and young contributors Legros and Diawara chipped in 2 points and 4 points respectively.

Shooting Struggles and Upcoming Roster Additions

Mondeville struggled from beyond the arc, converting just 5 of 27 attempts on three-pointers. Debrosse expressed no concern over the perimeter shooting efficiency, indicating that aggressiveness from long range remains a tactical priority for the club. In the final quarter, when we let loose, the accuracy returned, Debrosse explained to Ouest-France. I want us to keep launching. Today, my team was a little paralyzed by the desire to do well. The roster is expected to receive a significant reinforcement this week with the arrival of Congolese recruit Lamama Kapinga Maweja to bolster the frontcourt under the basket. Normally, she should join us during the week, Debrosse noted regarding the incoming center. We are going to see what physical condition she is in and integrate her as best as possible. We are giving ourselves three to four weeks to ramp up.

Looking Ahead to the Next Fixture in Rouen

The upcoming opponents have already dropped two matches against Mondeville during the summer pre-season and Coupe de France fixtures. While waiting for Lamama and Amali Montout to be operational, we are going to hunker down on the inside, Debrosse said. That is why the self-sacrifice I see on the pitch is very positive. It will have to be preserved Saturday in Rouen, to achieve the three-peat against neighbors already beaten twice this summer, in friendly and Coupe de France play.
