Preview: Charnay Looks to Continue Momentum Against Struggling Chartres in Eurocup Women Clash

CHARTRES, France (Interstat) — A surging Charnay squad visits a struggling Chartres team in a Eurocup Women matchup on Wednesday, Jan. 7, 2026, at Chartres.

Charnay (11-9) enters on a high note after a 77-73 victory over Lyon on Jan. 4, which snapped a three-game skid. Chartres (3-9), meanwhile, seeks to halt a four-game losing streak following an 82-52 road loss to Bourges on the same date.

The visiting team holds a significant edge in the standings and recent head-to-head history. Charnay defeated Chartres 89-74 in their first meeting this season on Oct. 4, 2025.

Forward Shakayla Thomas is the focal point for Charnay. She is coming off a 24-point, five-rebound performance against Lyon, her fourth game with 18 or more points in the last five outings. Her consistent scoring punch will be a primary challenge for the Chartres defense.

Chartres will counter with forward Nicole Enabosi, who has been a bright spot during the team’s difficult stretch. She has recorded double-doubles in two of her last five games and is averaging a steady line of points and rebounds.

For Charnay, support for Thomas comes from guard Coralie Chabrier, who posted 13 points and five assists against Lyon, and Sara Chevaugeon, who added 17 points. Chartres will need production beyond Enabosi, looking to players like Yvanna Enjolvy (10 points, four assists vs. Bourges) and Kekelly Elenga.

The game presents a clear contrast: Charnay aims to build on its winning record and solidify its position, while Chartres desperately needs a home victory to change the trajectory of its season. Tipoff is scheduled for Wednesday evening in Chartres.
