The continent-wide club championship returned this year with twelve teams split into three groups that will play round-robins over a three-day period. Group B is first this week with teams playing in Colombia as Medellin hosts. Ecuador’s Audaz Octubrino brought in the strongest contingent of foreigners in the group and won the opener on Thursday over Lara of Venezuela 71-56. Katrina Pardee tried to fire Ramallo Lafuente of Bolivia past the host Lionesses, but Yaneth Arias and the hosts managed to hang on 67-66. Friday’s games started with Katrina Pardee trying to shoot Ramallo Lafuente back into the game against Audaz Octubrino, but Shacobia Barbee helped the Ecuadorian club win again 67-62. Yosimar Corrales and the Shepherdesses of Lara struggled against Medellin’s Lionesses, losing to Jenifer Munoz and company 93-65. The two winless teams met first on Saturday and it was Yosimar Corrales and Lara that got the 84-77 win over Katrina Pardee and Ramallo Lafuente. Medellin looked ready to win the group at home, but Jacinta Monroe and Audaz Octubrino finished a comeback to win 70-65.
