Spanish League Round 18 January 18th-23rd

by

A game from Round 15 was made up on Tuesday with new look Tenerife losing to Mariam Coulibaly and Gipuzkoa 74-51 as Lena Niang made her professional debut for the visitors.  This round started on Saturday with Girona stifling Bembibre 67-48.  Valencia was even more shorthanded in a game with future implications as Katie Lou Samuelson helped Avenida run out to a lead only to have to hold on for a 72-68 win.  Sedis did enough late for a 60-54 win over Ferrol.  All games were played on Sunday so a full round was able to be completed as scheduled for the first time in weeks.  The first game of the day was the old Basque Country rivalry and Gipuzkoa pulled away from Gernika in the fourth quarter to win 75-54.  Maya Caldwell led Gran Canaria, but they could not get a win to move themselves back into a safe position as Sierra Calhoun and Zaragoza left with a 74-72 victory.  Tenerife also had the chance to not be stranded at the bottom of the danger zone and got a good game from Theresa Plaisance, but Estudiantes had the better of the fourth quarter in a 63-60 win.  Ensino did move a game above the fray with a 75-49 win at Leganes.  Promete ended the day with a 75-50 win over Tanaya Atkinson and Araski.

January 23, 2022

After not having any virus postponements, the league was hit hard this week with half of the games called off, leaving three games on Sunday.  The battle between first and worst went about as expected with Maria Vadeeva and Jonquel Jones helping Ekaterinburg make quick work of Spartak Noginsk 112-40.  In what used to be a fantastic rivalry in the Moscow area, Daria Ignatova led Spartak past Dynamo 88-63.  Nadezhda had the chance to show that they should still be considered part of the upper half and had the lead at the break in Orenburg, but Natasha Howard and Dynamo Kursk left with a 74-66 win.

After several weeks of difficulties in getting games played, a busy schedule this week started on Wednesday with Darcee Garbin and Perth firing away in the second half in a 102-73 win over Canberra.  On Thursday, Rennia Davis was able to make her professional debut, but Sydney lost to Adelaide 77-52.  Southside had to have both of their games postponed.  That left one game on Friday with Townsville winning 77-67 at Bendigo.  It looked like they were running out of steam early against Cayla George and Melbourne with a quick turnaround on Friday, but Lauren Nicholson helped them win again, this time 68-66.  Sunday started with Canberra’s 94-60 win over Bendigo.  The last game of the round saw Marina Mabrey catch fire for Perth to fuel a comeback 86-81 win over Sydney, which was got scoring from Lauren Mansfield and Rennia Davis.
