LYON (Interstat) — Lyon will host La Tronche Meylan on Saturday in a women’s professional basketball game. Lyon enters at 1-0, while La Tronche Meylan is 0-1. The meeting gives Lyon a chance to build on its opening win and La Tronche Meylan an opportunity to earn its first victory of the season.

La Tronche Meylan will look to Ashunae Durant, who has been productive early. In a loss to Chartres, Durant played 34 minutes and finished with 19 points, 17 rebounds, two assists and one block. She was one of three La Tronche Meylan players to reach double figures in that game. N. Desset added 19 points and two rebounds in 25 minutes, and Jasmine Thomas contributed 14 points, three rebounds, three assists and one block in 30 minutes.

La Tronche Meylan’s most recent result was a 74-67 home loss to Chartres. Durant’s 19 points and 17 rebounds led the team, while Desset matched her 19 points and added two rebounds and two blocks. Thomas scored 14 points to go with three rebounds, three assists and one block. The visiting side will need a similar balance to challenge Lyon on the road.

Lyon opened its season with a 78-70 win at Flammes Carolo. Bethy Mununga was a central figure, posting 12 points and 12 rebounds in 28 minutes, along with two assists and one block. Ainhoa Risacher scored 19 points and collected four rebounds with two assists in 31 minutes. Samantha Peytour added eight points, five rebounds, two assists and one block in 28 minutes. Mununga’s rebounding and interior presence will be a key matchup against Durant and the La Tronche Meylan frontcourt.

Lyon’s 1-0 start has been powered by balanced scoring and production on the boards. Mununga’s double-double in the opener gave Lyon a strong inside option, while Risacher provided perimeter scoring. Peytour contributed across the stat sheet. La Tronche Meylan, meanwhile, showed it can score through Durant, Desset and Thomas, but it will seek more consistency after falling in its opener.

The game is expected to feature two teams with different early-season momentum. Lyon will try to remain unbeaten, while La Tronche Meylan will aim to split its first two contests and secure a road result. Durant and Mununga are the players to watch, with each capable of affecting the game on the glass and on the scoreboard. Both teams remain early in their schedules, and the game offers an early test for each side.
