The tough Basque weekend of Magec Tías "Against Gender Violence" kicked off with a visit to the complicated court of Ausarta Barakaldo, where the Lanzarote players once again lacked consistency to win a match that they had under control in the first quarter.
The Lanzarote team was once again excellently led by the Bolivian international Romina Rodríguez, who was in charge of giving sobriety to the game and looking for possible attacking incorporations of the island team, reaching an advantage of up to 7 points in the first quarter, where the irruption from the bench of Rosario de León also served to give other spirits to the visiting game when it seemed that the situation was stuck.
But in the second quarter, Albero Cea's team seemed to understand better what was happening on the court than the Lanzarote team, who could not find their best game, having a streak of 11 points in a row the Basque team and that allowed them to turn the score around. Jesús García tried to find solutions, but they did not arrive in the face of the strong defense that the local team was interposing. Only the 5 points of Magaly Vílches and 2 of Rosario de León were little baggage against a team that in the first 5 minutes of the quarter had already thrown overboard the work done in the first partial the Magec Tías "Against Gender Violence".
Once the teams returned from the locker rooms, the sensations did not seem to change, despite the impetus shown by the Lanzarote team, who came to see themselves up to 15 points below on the scoreboard. Without possibilities in attack, in defense the team was compact, but without options to rejoin a match that seemed increasingly distant, as was endorsed in the last quarter. Despite the improvement in all factors, there was no time to achieve the comeback, nor way to do so against a rival that did not seem to give any ease to achieve the feat, thinking already the Lanzarote team in the match on Sunday against Ibaizabal, match belonging to the day 1.
In this Sunday's rival is Tamara Montero, former player of Magec Tías, but she will not be able to be part of the game after being diagnosed with a torn ligament in her left knee, wishing her a speedy recovery so that we can enjoy her game on the court.
