Liga de Ascenso Round 14 of Regular Season

Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

Round 14 most important game was a victory of Olimpia over one of their biggest challengers Stockolmo 86-74 on Thursday night. Guard Abel Agarbado (179-1993) orchestrated the victory by scoring 21 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists. Swingman Franco Brun (195-2004) contributed with 16 points for the winners. Olimpia's coach Andres Borroni used a ten-player rotation which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. point guard Andres Aristimuno (184-1992) replied with 19 points, 5 rebounds and 9 assists (was perfect 8-for-8 from the free throw line) for Stockolmo. Olimpia (7-1) have an impressive six-game winning streak. They maintain second position having just one point less than leader Trouville. Stockolmo at the other side keeps the third place with two games lost. They share the position with Tabare.
Colon's fans can finally celebrate the first win of their team after six consecutive losses. The victory is especially important as they defeated much higher ranked O.Mundial (3-4) on the road game in Montevideo 74-64. Point guard Felipe Garcia (173-1999) scored 26 points to lead the charge for the winners and Santiago Serna chipped in 15 points and 16 rebounds during the contest. point guard Angel Varela (188-1987) responded with 11 points and 6 rebounds. O.Mundial's coach Alejandro Muro rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help. Colon (1-6) left bottom position moving up to twelfth place, which they share with Montevideo and Marne. O.Mundial at the other side keeps the seventh position with four games lost. They share it with L.Borges and Sayago. Colon will play against league's leader Trouville in Montevideo in the next round and they do not belong to the favorites in that game. O.Mundial's supporters look forward to an exciting derby game next round, where their team will travel locally in Montevideo to the arena Marne.
Liga de Ascenso top team - Trouville (7-0) had no problems winning another game on Tuesday. This time they crushed tenth ranked Albatros (2-5) in Montevideo 103-67. Andriy Grytsak notched a double-double by scoring 17 points, 19 rebounds and 6 assists to lead the effort. Even 15 points and 5 rebounds by Aaron Gedeon did not help to save the game for Albatros. 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 Trouville have an impressive seven-game winning streak. They maintain first position with 7-0 record. Albatros lost fifth consecutive game. They dropped to the eleventh place with five games lost. Trouville will meet Colon (#12) on the road in the next round which should be another easy win for them.
