LSBF Round 8: Real Esteli lose to Tipitapa in the game between Top 4 teams

There are only two more rounds left in the Regular Season in LSBF. Here is the last round review presented by LBM Management.

Very significant was Tipitapa's (#3, 5-4) victory against second-ranked Real Esteli (6-3) 61-49. Tipitapa forced 26 Real Esteli turnovers. 24 personal fouls committed by Real Esteli helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. Worth to mention a great performance of forward Clenia Salazar (-1987) who helped to win the game recording a double-double by scoring 25 points and 10 rebounds and Canadian guard Tiffany Reynolds (175, college: Lakehead) who added 17 points and 13 rebounds during the contest. The former international Anahya Hodgson (-2005) responded with a double-double by scoring 12 points and 11 rebounds. Real Esteli's coach rotated twelve players in this game, but that didn't help. Tipitapa have a solid four-game winning streak. They maintain third position with 5-4 record having just two points less than leader Jaguares. Defending champion Real Esteli keeps the second place with three games lost. Tipitapa are looking forward to face league's leader Jaguares in Managua in the next round and it will be for sure the game of the week. Real Esteli will have a break next round.
Very significant was Jaguares' (#1, 7-2) victory against 4th ranked Leonas (2-7) 74-53. The winners were led by center Linda Patterson who had that evening a double-double by scoring 16 points and 17 rebounds (on 7-of-8 shooting from the field) and DAsia Chambers supported her with 19 points and 9 rebounds. Even 22 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists by American guard Jocelyn Taylor (183-1997, college: SEMO) did not help to save the game for Leonas. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Jaguares maintains first position with 7-2 record. Leonas at the other side dropped to the bottom place with seven games lost. Jaguares will play against Tipitapa (#3) in the next round, which may be the game of the day. Leonas will play against UNI and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
