The teams were level for almost three minutes from (58-58) to (63-63).

With 45 seconds left to play Stievenard, with her 17th point of the game, put the CFBB back in front. The last 36 seconds did not go well for the CFBB and for the 27th time this season they came off second best despite a buzzer beater long range effort by Laure Mercier.
