LaLiga Femenina Round 7 (Regular Season): Obras keep a leadership position

Here is the last round review presented by LBM Management.

The game had a very big importance for second-ranked Obras as it allowed them to take a leadership position. Obras smashed 9th ranked Independiente in Buenos Aires 84-62. Obras forced 19 Independiente turnovers. They looked well-organized offensively handing out 25 assists. The former international power forward Agostina Burani (186-1991) fired 16 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists for the winners. The former international point guard Florencia Chagas (180-2001) chipped in 13 points and 7 assists. Guard Laila Raviolo (180-2000, agency: BIG) produced 18 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists for lost side. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Undefeated Obras (5-0) have an impressive series of five victories in a row. As mentioned above they are alone now at the top position. Independiente at the other side keeps the ninth place with two games lost. They share the position with El Talar. Independiente will play next round against El Talar trying to get back on the winning streak. Obras will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game.
Undefeated Instituto (3-1) recorded its first loss in Cordoba. Hosts were defeated by twelfth ranked Gorriones (2-3) 71-60. It ended at the same time the three-game winning streak of Instituto. Worth to mention a great performance of Uruguayan guard Joaquina Gregorio (168-2001, agency: BIG) who helped to win the game recording 25 points and 5 rebounds. Jacqueline Soto contributed with 19 points and 8 rebounds for the winners. point guard Julieta Sienra (161-2003) answered with 16 points and 6 assists for Instituto. Instituto's coach Ignacio Correas rotated twelve players in this game, but that didn't help. Gorriones moved-up to eleventh place. Instituto at the other side dropped to the sixth position with one game lost. They share it with Berazategui. Gorriones will play against Riachuelo (#17) in La Rioja in the next round which should be theoretically an easy game. Instituto will play on the road against Chanares (#4) having rather not much hope for a victory.
Very important is a home loss of third ranked Berazategui (3-1) against seventh ranked Union Florida (4-1) on Sunday night. Host Berazategui was defeated by Union Florida in a tough game in Buenos Aires 51-55. It ended at the same time the three-game winning streak of Berazategui. It was a key game for the second position in the league. It was a great evening for Natalia Tondi who led her team to a victory scoring 14 points and 8 rebounds.
