Mondeville at Rouen

ROUEN (Interstat) — Mondeville will look to build on a dominant season-opening victory when it visits Rouen on Friday in a women’s professional basketball game.

Mondeville enters 1-0 after a 91-52 home win over Centre Federal Paris in its most recent game. Shelby Saint Juste powered Mondeville with 13 points, 12 rebounds and six assists in 34 minutes. Elyah Kiavi added 14 points and 10 rebounds in 21 minutes, and Tameiya Sadler finished with eight points, three rebounds and five assists in 22 minutes. Saint Juste is the player to watch for Mondeville. She recorded a double-double in the opener and has been productive as a scorer, rebounder and facilitator.

Rouen is 0-1 after an 89-41 loss at Monaco in its most recent game. Clara Causeur led Rouen with 15 points in 30 minutes, adding two rebounds and two assists. Goundo Sissoko had six points and six rebounds in 20 minutes, while Lena Timera contributed six points, five rebounds and one assist in 33 minutes. Causeur is the player to watch for Rouen. She scored 15 points in the opener and will be counted on to help Rouen generate offense against a Mondeville team that opened with a strong defensive performance.

Mondeville’s opener showed balance. Saint Juste and Kiavi both reached double figures, while Sadler helped steady the backcourt. That balance could test a Rouen side that struggled offensively at Monaco. Rouen will need Causeur to score efficiently and will look for Sissoko and Timera to provide support on the boards and in transition.

Mondeville will try to remain unbeaten before a stretch that includes upcoming matchups with Monaco, Porte du Hainaut, Aulnoye-Aymeries, Feytiat, Pays Voironnais, Montbrison, Cavigal Nice, Geispolsheim, La Roche Vendee and Union Hainaut. Rouen’s upcoming slate includes games against Cavigal Nice, Geispolsheim, Pays Voironnais, Porte du Hainaut, La Roche Vendee, Aulnoye-Aymeries, Union Hainaut, Montbrison, Champagne and Feytiat.

The game offers an early test for both clubs. Mondeville wants to protect its perfect record, while Rouen seeks its first win and a better home result after a difficult opening night. Rouen will need to limit turnovers and find secondary scoring to stay close. Mondeville will aim to control the glass and use its depth to wear down the home side. Both teams are early in the season, and the result will count in the league standings. Mondeville, meanwhile, will try to carry over its strong start on the road.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a final score of Mondeville 76, Rouen 49. That gives Mondeville a projected 27-point margin. No point spread, betting line or over-under was provided.
