Friends cement female league leadership

The women's CAB team received Benfica in play counting for the 16th Women's League journey. The game was of high importance to both teams. On the one hand, the CAB wanted to win in order to preserve its isolated leadership of the Women's League and send a message of strength to the Lisbon formation, which strengthened in the winter season with quality players. On the other hand, Benfica wanted to confirm the moment of descent he is having and would not make life easier for friends. The game started best for the CAB team. The Amigas won the first period by 26-21, dominating visitors in all aspects of the game. The Lisboners, too dependent on their outer game, used this weapon to bother the locals. In the second half, the CAB was again stronger and came to have over Benfica a point advantage of 15 points. However, several defensive and offensive disengagements of the house (perfectly avoidable) allowed Benfica to perform a 0-9 partial and re-enter the game. Likewise, at the interval the marker marked 46-40 in favor of the CAB. In the third half, the CAB entered the game very badly and was almost four minutes without scoring any point. No surprise, Benfica not only matched the game but moved ahead with a nine-point advantage. In time, the CAB reacted and reached the end of the third period by 65-63. In the last time, the CAB regained its strength and identity. Betting again on a very well-mounted pressure defense, the Amigas managed to steal balls and force visitors to fail several launches. From the defense, the CAB game flowed normally, with the CAB scoring more points, running faster and asserting itself as the dominant team that it truly is when it works. In fact, the 24-10 partial recorded in the last 10 minutes of the meeting reveals the ability of friends to play, as well as the cohesion of their defensive posture. In the end, the victory was from the Madeirans by 89-73, a result that is accepted and that is just in the face of what happened within the field. In individual terms: Joana Lopes (4), Aleighsa Welch (21), Cíntia França (10), Britany Miller (6), Rosinha Rosario (21), Ejay Ofomata (10), Carolina Scorcio (9), Marta Bravo (8). Unfortunate Satellite Team before Coymbers Before the match between the CAB and Benfica, the CAB/CSM, a satellite formation of the Amigas, confronted the formation of the Coymbrons. The game was not easy for Madeirans, as visitors are a strong, organized team who is struggling to move up division. Despite the theoretical superiority of the opponents, the Madeirans played in a very committed and tough way, confirming that they are a team that is growing and that knows how to play good basketball. In the face of an audience that was tireless in supporting those of the house, to which we express our thanks, the Madeirans gave themselves up completely, but did not achieve the desired victory, falling by the result of 57-76.
