The season got off to an ominous start with both games scheduled for Friday postponed due to virus test results.  One of Saturday’s games could not be played either, but the rest were played as scheduled.  The first game saw Laura Garcia lead Gipuzkoa past a young Bembibre side 76-65.  The hosts handed professional debuts to Batouly Camara, Sara Rhine, Dee Givens, Lashann Higgs, Sara Rokkanen, Montserrat Brotons, and Marianne Kalin.  Valencia had the opportunity to get revenge on Gernika for their Super Cup loss last weekend and did so with a 64-52 win.  Avenida was not particularly inspiring in Lugo, but won 58-52.

Both scheduled games on Sunday were played, starting with the battle of the Canary Islands on Tenerife.  Clarinos welcomed Gran Canaria back to the top flight and it was a great game as it took two overtimes for Tanaya Atkinson lead them to a 103-102 win.  Kai James and Sparkle Taylor paced the visitors.  There was extra basketball to end the day too as Estudiantes had a promising start to life back in the upper tier, but Julia Reisingerova led Girona in a comeback for an 88-78 win.

The annual Queen’s Cup started in Salamanca with a pair of quarterfinals on Thursday.  The first was a Basque Country rivalry game as Nikolina Milic and Julie Wojta helped Gernika force overtime, but Araski won 83-80.  There was far less drama in the other game as hosts Avenida dispatched Ensino 89-43.  The other two quarterfinals were on Friday, starting with Girona edging Sedis 56-51.  Meiya Tirera and Valencia dominated the fourth quarter to come back and beat Clarinos 69-54.  Both semifinals were on Saturday, starting with Avenida beating Araski 60-45.  Girona pulled away from Valencia late to set up the expected matchup in the final.  On Sunday, Avenida had the homecourt advantage, but Girona had the psychological edge with their recent success in their head-to-head matchups.  Tiffany Hayes made sure that the fans would go home happy though, leading the way in a 76-58 win.
