LaLiga Femenina Round 10 (Regular Season): Derby game ends with Obras' defeat of Berazategui

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: Obras (#1) and Berazategui (#5). Berazategui was defeated at home 71-75 and even the fact of playing on their own court did not help. Obras outrebounded Berazategui 44-33 including 35 on the defensive glass. 24 personal fouls committed by Berazategui helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. Worth to mention a great performance of international Candela Gentinetta (181-2001) who helped to win the game recording a double-double by scoring 18 points and 15 rebounds. The former international guard Valeria Fernandez (165-1998) contributed with 15 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists for the winners. Guard Laila Raviolo (180-2000, agency: BIG) replied with 24 points and 8 rebounds (made all of her thirteen free throws !!!) for Berazategui. Both coaches used bench players in such tough game. Obras have a solid three-game winning streak. They maintain first position with 11-2 record. Berazategui lost sixth consecutive game. They keep the fifth place with seven games lost. They share the position with Rocamora. Obras are looking forward to face Rocamora (#5) in Concepcion de Urug. in the next round. Berazategui will play at home against El Talar and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
An interesting game for Ferro (9-2) which played road game in Florida against one of their biggest challengers Union Florida (7-4). Second ranked Ferro managed to get a 7-point victory 67-60. The former international center Florencia Fernandez (189-1986) had a double-double by scoring 18 points and 12 rebounds to lead the charge for the winners and Candela Foresto chipped in 10 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists during the contest. At the losing side guard Giuliana Baccarelli (165-2004) responded with a double-double by scoring 20 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists. Both coaches tested many bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Ferro maintains second position with 9-2 record having just five point less than leader Obras. Union Florida at the other side keeps the third place with four games lost. Ferro will play against El Talar (#4) in Caba in the next round. Union Florida will play against Avellaneda and hopes to get back on the winning track.
An interesting game was also surprising home defeat of 4th ranked El Talar in a game in Caba versus Lanus (#7) 63-57. Camila Peri notched a double-double by scoring 19 points and 13 rebounds to lead the effort. Even a double-double of 13 points and 15 rebounds by Natassja Kolff did not help to save the game for El Talar. Lanus maintains seventh position with 3-9 record. Defending champion El Talar keeps the fourth place with five games lost. Lanus will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game. El Talar will play against Berazategui (#6) in Buenos Aires and it may be a tough game between close rivals.

Other games in round 10 were not that significant. Chanares smashed Montmartre on the road 101-39. Riachuelo destroyed Chanares on its own court 90-55. Gorriones outscored Montmartre in Rio Cuarto 125-31.
The most impressive performance of 10th round was 24 points and 14 rebounds by Romina Moreira of Gorriones.
