France: what happened on Saturday’s game of Round 15…

After two advances played on Thursday and on Friday, Round 15 of Ligue A continued today with other four games.

After a silent first set (and a great performance of the home team), newcomers Saint-Nazaire continue their run celebrating a four sets win on the field of Nice – 1-3 (25:19, 26:28, 22:25, 21:25). Helder Spencer was named MVP of the match with 15 points, 3 winning blocks and 80% in attack, while Kyle Ensing top-scored the winners with 19 points. Opposite Celestin Cardin wad the most prolific player of the match scoring 21 points for Nice, whose winning streak of 5 consecutive win in a row at home come into a end.

Away win in four sets also for Tourcoing, on the field of Plessis-Robinson – 1-3 (23:25, 25:22, 10:25, 19:25), while current vice-leaders Nantes won in straight sets on the field of last-placed Cambrai (21:25, 16:25, 24:26), with 11 winning blocks in just three sets.
The most balanced battle of the day took place in Montpellier, where titleholders defeated Paris at tie break (19:25, 25:21, 25:22, 23:25, 15:12) in front of their home fans, with 23 points from a very good Theo Faure (all in attack, and 62%).

Tomorrow Narbonne will face Poitiers in the game that will close Round 15.
