CB Lanzarote Puerto del Carmen managed to taste victory again after winning by the narrowest of margins (25-26) this Saturday at the Colegio San Ignacio Pavilion in Pamplona against Balonmano Loyola in a match corresponding to matchday 22 of Group B of the Women's Silver Division of Honor.
Kenia Hernández stood out in the offensive work with six goals. Among the players of the Navarre team, Sandra Tomás scored seven goals.
CB Lanzarote Puerto del Carmen thus changes the prevailing sensations in the team after the defeat a week ago at the Municipal Pavilion of Tías.
The coach from Lanzarote, Miguel Ángel Lemes, explained at the end of the match that "as the result reflects, the match was very even. We started imprecise in defense and, on the other hand, we couldn't find clear solutions in attack. After being three down at halftime, the team's attitude changed in the second half. We were a bit more forceful in defense, the goal contributed more and in attack we took advantage of the situations of numerical superiority", which allowed us to improve to win the match.
Nineteen victories for the women from Lanzarote in twenty-two matches, which continues to leave them in third position in the standings, as neither Atlántico Pereda nor Logroño Sporting La Rioja failed in their matches this weekend and are one point ahead of Puerto del Carmen.
The women from Lanzarote are still out of playoff positions, although they still depend on what they do in the four matches that remain to be played in Group B of the Women's Silver Division of Honor, highlighting the match on the last day at home against the leader, Logroño Sporting La Rioja.
Lemes points out that this week "Zarautz is coming, who I think is a better team than the standings show". They are sixth and are coming off a 32-24 win against Schär Zaragoza.
The coach from Lanzarote believes that "these four final matches are complicated, we have to focus on the next match and not get ahead of ourselves".
Next Saturday at 6 p.m., CB Lanzarote Puerto del Carmen will receive the visit of Aiala Zarautz Z.K.E. at the Municipal de Tías.
