This week we take a look back at the career of a player who left her mark on LFB history!

She played for 6 different clubs: Mondeville, Villeneuve d’Ascq, Montpellier, Bourges, ASVEL and finally Charleville-Mézières.
Always working with the same desire and self-sacrifice, she won numerous titles.
She also boasts 21 caps for the French national team, with whom she will take part in the 2014 World Championship!
Here’s a look back at her achievements:

In an interview with the newspaper Sport à Caen, Ingrid talked about what she will remember about her career:
“What I remember first are the encounters… The first thing that comes to mind is the human adventure.”
With a serene approach to the next stage:
“I imagine a smooth transition. What I’ll miss most will be the group, the girls. I don’t think I’ll miss basketball itself very much”.
