The cup started in Valencia on Thursday and Avenida was able to debut their latest signing, but are still not full strength as they struggled with Gipuzkoa, but won 60-56. The next game was also close as Tinara Moore lifted Gernika past Sedis 55-51. Things were more decisive on Friday with Girona rolling past Estudiantes 89-41. The hosts closed the day with a 65-55 win over Zaragoza. The semifinals were on Saturday, starting with Avenida’s 72-56 win over Gernika. Cristina Ouvina tried to carry Valencia, but the hosts were bounced out by Girona in 67-59. That left the two teams that have been the strongest recently playing for the trophy on Sunday. Avenida built a lead in the second half and had to fend off one final run from Girona to win 74-69 and maintain the edge as the postseason approaches.
