For his first season in D2, the Breton club finished in 7th place in the group B standings. To attack this new season where several teams will come down, St Malo has strengthened. The experienced D1 defender of En Avant Guingamp Audrey February, Béatrice Kaboré, the attacker of Orvault and Justine Lepauvre of Le Mans join the lle-et-Vilaine.
Fiona Le Callet (St Malo): "The coach has done excellent recruitment, they are experienced girls who have great potential and who will bring a lot to this D2 team. (I think of my teammate Audrey February coming from the En Avant de Guingamp). The main objective of this year will be to be among the first 6 at the end of the championship. Saint Malo intends to stay in D2. Unfortunately for the moment I could only encourage my teammates following a rupture of the cruciate ligaments, I intend to return to the field as soon as possible »
Fabrice Garin (St Malo): "We tried to maintain the strength of last season, he gave me satisfaction. It was necessary to integrate new players. One per line with 3 players plus a young player. A bigger group, better quality, this is our second season so it will be harder for us. We will have to renew our lease in this championship. Given the teams, it will be very tight and homogeneous.
Justine Lepauvre (St Malo): "The objective of this year is for us to do better than last year ie to finish in the first 6.
I think we have the squad and the staff to maintain. We now have all the keys in our hands, we must continue to prepare well to be the best performers possible at the resumption of the championship. I join this year a group welded with good individualities who will undoubtedly serve for the collective. The girls have welcomed me, so I look forward to following. "
