LaLiga Femenina Round 1 of Final Four. El Talar and Ferro advance into Final

El Talar - Gorriones 82-51

El Talar forced 21 Gorriones turnovers. Worth to mention a great performance of the former international point guard Luciana Delabarba (167-1997) who helped to win the game recording 22 points and 5 rebounds. Luna Cao contributed with 12 points and 9 rebounds for the winners. Four El Talar players scored in double figures. Guard Valentina Numa (173-2000, agency: BIG) answered with 17 points and 6 rebounds and Bolivian Romina Moreira (-1999) added 8 points and 10 rebounds in the effort for Gorriones. Since the result was very predictable, it gave the chance for the coaches to test many bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games.
