LaLiga Femenina Round 8 (Regular Season): Berazategui is defeated by Ferro in a derby game

Here is the last round review presented by LBM Management.

The most interesting game was a derby match between two local teams from Buenos Aires: Ferro (#2) and Berazategui (#5). Ferro (8-2) won against visiting Berazategui (4-5) 63-59. Ferro dominated down low during the game scoring 44 of its points in the paint compared to Berazategui's 22. They outrebounded Berazategui 48-34 including 34 on the defensive glass. Worth to mention a great performance of the former international center Florencia Fernandez (189-1986) who helped to win the game recording a double-double by scoring 22 points and 14 rebounds and forward Stefania Lucero (172-1993, agency: BIG) who added 17 points and 10 rebounds during the contest. Jacqueline Soto (-1997, agency: BIG) responded with 13 points and 9 rebounds. Both coaches used bench players in such tough game. Ferro maintains second position with 8-2 record having just five point less than leader Obras. Berazategui lost fourth consecutive game. They keep the fifth place with five games lost. Ferro are looking forward to face Lanus (#7) at home in the next round where they are favorite. Berazategui will play against Union Florida and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
Very important is a road loss of second ranked Quimsa (4-3) against fourth ranked Riachuelo (3-1) on Thursday night. Visiting Quimsa was defeated by Riachuelo in La Rioja 73-55. It ended at the same time the three-game winning streak of Quimsa. The winners were led by the former international swingman Agustina Garcia (173-1996) who scored that evening 11 points and 5 rebounds and Maria Bazan supported her with 13 points. Even 13 points and 7 rebounds by guard Milagros Basualdo (162-1999) did not help to save the game for Quimsa. Both coaches tested many bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Riachuelo have a solid three-game winning streak. They maintain fourth position with 3-1 record. Quimsa at the other side keeps the second place with three games lost. They share the position with Gorriones. Riachuelo will play against Montmartre (#6) in Catamarca in the next round. Quimsa will have a break next round.
The game between Top Four teams took place in Buenos Aires. First ranked host Obras (10-2) defeated 4th ranked El Talar (5-4) 77-64. It ended at the same time the four-game winning streak of El Talar. The best player for the winners was Candela Gentinetta who scored 16 points and 9 rebounds. Luciana Delabarba produced 25 points for the guests. Both coaches allowed to play bench players saving starting five for next games. Obras maintains first position with 10-2 record. Defending champion El Talar keeps the fourth place with four games lost. Both teams do not play next round, which will be an opportunity for some rest.

There were no shocking results in the other games in round 8: Lanus was destroyed by Rocamora on the opponent's court 68-47. Winless Montmartre was outscored by Quimsa in a home game 42-103. Avellaneda was rolled over Rocamora on the road 74-55.
