Friends confirm good record in the first clash of a double journey

The women's CAB team today fought against Ovarense, the first game of a double journey. The Madeiran team wanted, from an early age, to guarantee a punctual margin to manage the game, because it was aware of the increased difficulty of the Sunday game against Vagos. The match began best for the Friends, who won the first half by 8-21. In this first make of the game, the CAB dominated the fight for the score (13 wins, against 5 from Ovarense) and was also more effective in the outdoor release (marking 3 triples). In the areas near the basket, the advantage was also the islanders, who scored 8 points in that area of the field, against only 2 of the sites. In the second half, the CAB maintained control over the pace of the game, but at an early stage, it did not reveal much success with the opponent's basket, as several releases failed. The situation was overtaken, with the Friends finding their way to the basket and reaching the break to win by 12-42. It also highlights the excellent defensive posture of the CAB in the second half, only allowing the locals to score 4 points throughout the period. In the third period, the CAB again entered assertive, but this time it also came true. With 5 minutes of play in the partial, the Friends had already placed the marker in 16-56, increasing to 40 points the difference from the Ovarense. In the defensive chapter, this phase of the game was not as well achieved as the previous two periods, as the locations managed to score 14 points. However, Ovarense's reaction never questioned the superiority of the Madeirans, who ended the third period in front of the result by 26-60. In the last time, the game gained a renewed dynamism, with Ovarense beating well and showing great will. However, the CAB, protected by a comfortable spot margin, did not give in and did not fail to impose its pace of play on the venues. Using the versatility of their offensive options, as well as a greater presence in the inner game, the Friends confirmed the victory in the partial by 12-16 and also in the match by 38-76, which is just given the superiority they demonstrated within the field, both in offensive aspects and in the defensive chapter.
