Cassidie Burdick Explodes for Career-High 12 Points and 15 Rebounds as Angers Crushes Roche Vendée

It was the last day of the La Boulangère Wonderligue Playdowns, and for Angers Féminin, it ended with a statement. A 21-point dismantling of Roche Vendée, capped by one of the more remarkable individual performances of the season — not from a star, but from a depth piece who seized her moment.

Cassidie Burdick, whose season averages sat at 1.8 points and 2.3 rebounds across 134 games, produced a line that looked nothing like her usual statistical profile: 12 points, 15 rebounds (7 offensive, 8 defensive), 4 assists, 2 steals, and just 1 foul in 26 minutes. Her efficiency rating reached 28.0, with a Performance Index Rating of 30.0. She scored 6.7 times her season average in points and grabbed 6.5 times her usual rebound output — numbers that underline just how extraordinary the performance was relative to her established role.

Burdick’s rebounding dominance fueled Angers’ blowout

The 7 offensive rebounds were particularly decisive. In a game where Angers finished with 11 offensive boards to Roche Vendée’s 5, Burdick alone was responsible for more than half of her team’s second-chance opportunities. Those extra possessions, combined with Roche Vendée’s disastrous 18 turnovers against Angers’ 4, created a pace and possession imbalance that the home side exploited ruthlessly.

Angers shot 47.4% from the field (36/76), connected on 6 of 17 3-points attempts, and distributed the ball with precision — 23 assists on 36 made baskets. Roche Vendée, despite a near-perfect 92.3% from the free-throw line, could not compensate for their ball-handling issues and struggled to match Angers’ energy on the boards.

What also stands out in Burdick’s performance is its discipline. With only 1 foul across 26 aggressive minutes, she was physically dominant without being reckless — a balance that allowed her to stay on the floor and maintain her impact throughout.

Angers finishes Playdowns with a 6-6 record

With this win, Angers Féminin closed out the Playdowns at 6-6, accumulating 18 points and finishing in 3rd place in the phase. Both teams had already secured their safety before tip-off, giving the game a somewhat ceremonial context — which makes Burdick’s effort all the more striking. In a match where some players might have coasted, she delivered the best individual performance of her season.

For a player who has operated in a limited role throughout the year, this final-day eruption offers a compelling data point heading into the offseason. Whether it translates into expanded responsibilities in 2025-2026 remains to be seen, but on May 12, 2026, Cassidie Burdick was the best player on the floor.
