Magec Tías "Against Gender Violence" returned to winning ways by defeating Vega Lagunera Adareva 73-85, in a match where equality was notorious throughout practically the entire match, tilting in favor of the Lanzarote team in the second half.
The team coached by Jesús García was able to count on Yaiza García for this match, who was not usually traveling to away games, her participation in the match being an important factor in making the team from the island of volcanoes even more competitive.
In the first quarter, Alba Peña's scoring facet stood out for the local team, while for the visiting team, Imani Robinson's three-pointers and Romina Rodríguez's distribution of the game gave them the strength to remain in the fight, adding to that work a three-pointer from Carolina Mateo and another from Eli Dabou that helped close the score with 23 to 22 in favor of the locals.
The dynamic in the second quarter for the Lanzarote team was very similar in terms of attack, while in defense the red and black team was much more intense, managing to turn the score around before reaching halftime. Free throws were fundamental, since 7 of the 16 points of the Lanzarote team in this quarter were achieved from that position, concluding this quarter with the score of 34 to 38.
Upon returning from the locker room, a three-pointer from Romina Rodríguez made clear the intentions of the Tías team, which would continue to dominate the game and the score despite some three-pointers from Alba Peña or Sandy Basaez for the Tenerife team. The visitors' response to these shots came with another three-pointer from Romina Rodríguez, one from Imani Robinson and another from Magaly Vilches, which served to make the score 56 to 64 at the end of the third quarter.
The team work was being vital for the players led by Jesús García to have the game under control and despite a good start by the locals in the last quarter with another three-pointer from Alba Peña, the response came with one from Magali Vílchez and another from Imani Robinson who were not going to allow the work done in the 30 minutes to be thrown overboard. Yaiza García and Eli Dabou would put their signature on a match where Magec Tías "Against Gender Violence" ended with a victory of 12 points difference, 73 to 85.
It is the eleventh victory for the Lanzarote team this season, pending the closing of the 2021/2022 campaign next weekend in Tías, receiving the Malaga team of Alhaurín de la Torre. The match will be played from 8:00 p.m. and with which the end point will be put to another season of the team in Women's League 2, achieving in a solvent way the objective that had been set at the beginning of the season.
