Aggressive defense catapult Friends for deserved victory

The women's CAB team received the Coimbra Olivais in departure counting for the 7th Women's League journey. The goal of the Friends was clearly to win the game in order to preserve the leadership of the Women's League. On the other side, the continentals came to Madeira to discuss the meeting and hinder the victory of the CAB. The game began with a relative balance between the two teams.

However, from then on, the superiority of the CAB began to assert itself and the Friends reached the end of the first time to win by 17-14. In the second period, the CAB returned to be the most dominant team in play.
