Perpignan Basket have qualified for the Ligue Féminine 2 Final Four after beating the CFBB (66-54). However the story of the weekend belongs to Astan Dabo who fired in 28 points and collected 23 rebounds for Reims.

With just six rounds of games remaining the battle to avoid relegation is heating up as relegation candidates picked up wins.

Perpignan Basket's first objective of the season has been achieved by booking their place in the end of season L2F Final Four. They beat the CFBB (66-54) with 18 points coming from Laina Badiane while Assitan Koné fired in 22 points for the CFBB.

Perpignan are just three wins away from achieving their second objective of the season by winning the regular season title.

Reims BF pulled off an important victory against Illkirch-Graffenstaden (80-73) as they battle to leave the relegation zone.

At the moment Illkirch-Graffenstaden are on a 9-game losing streak and now find themselves in the relegation zone.

However Louise Dambach, another product from the SIG academy, showed a lot of promise with her 15 points in defeat. The rest of the news from Ligue Féminine 2
