BASKETBALL | QUEEN’S CUP | QUARTER FINALS
The third semi-finalist will be the team with the best record in the Copa de la Reina. Although Perfumerías Avenida did not have it easy against a good Lointek Gernika (66-56), who also did well in this short competition. The Carter-Prince duo (45 points between them) was decisive.
Perfumerías Avenida is one of those teams that grows in important moments… and has arrived at this Copa de la Reina in a good moment of form and without injuries. In addition, it has two differential players such as Alexis Prince and Arica Carter, who scored 22 and 23 points respectively in the quarterfinal match against Lointek Gernika.
It is not easy to have a comfortable match in this Queen’s Cup. Lointek Gernika jumped onto the Carolina Marín pitch with intensity and put Perfumerías Salamanca in trouble by attacking the offensive rebound. The first minutes were for Lucas Fernández’s team until Alexis Prince showed his class and put the Salamanca team ahead (18-10 in the first quarter). This is how the second quarter went, with clear equality and with Arica Carter adding to the attack to keep her rivals under control. Neither coach thought about tomorrow and the key players spent little time on the bench. At halftime it was 33-25, leaving everything for the second half.
At the beginning of the third quarter, Avenida surpassed 10 points for the first time, which raised the spirit of its fans (about 500 were already in this quarterfinal match), but Lointek Gernika is a team that has done very well in the Cup and They fought until the last minute to narrow the score (60-54 with 3 minutes left), but six points from Avenida (four from Carter and two from Prince) decided the match in favor of the Salamanca team.
