The Women's League 2 returned to the Tías Municipal Pavilion after two consecutive matches away from home and did so to receive Magec Tías "Against Gender Violence" against Centros Único Real Canoe NC, a team that this year, like the previous one, has its sights set on trying to fight for the top positions in the standings.
Danielle Lawrence had been medically discharged, but did not start due to lack of activity in the last two weeks. Soon the Lanzarote team encountered a very fierce defense that prevented the movements of the local players. The visitor Gracia Alonso was in charge of scoring again and again, preventing Aday Villalba's players from facing Real Canoe.
The rebounds, as if the previous problem was not enough, were being dominated by the peninsular team, both in defense and attack, and thus Canoe's possessions had more chances of ending in points than those of a Magec Tías "Against Gender Violence" unknown to the local fans.
Thus the first quarter ended with a resounding 9 to 18, which did not improve in the second, where the errors were still the same and where even some players were already beginning to feel the weight of personal fouls on their account. At halftime the score reflected 24 to 41 favorable to the visiting team.
After the talk at halftime, the local team's performance on the court changed, finding somewhat more mobility in attack and solidity in defense. However, the evil of the rebounds continued to weigh and prevent Magec Tías "Against Gender Violence" from getting closer on the scoreboard, concluding the third quarter with a 41 to 60 favorable to the Madrid team.
In the last quarter, Canoe lowered its intensity with the rotations and Magec Tías gave the opportunity to players with fewer minutes, seeing the impossibility with the passage of time to redirect the situation and come back in a match that it never had in its favor. The score, 55 to 74, left the fourth defeat of the season for the Lanzarote team, who next week visit La Paterna, to face Spar Gran Canaria.
