After falling on the first day against Movistar Estudiantes (54-50), today the team coached by Dani Vives, current Catalan champion, got rid of Adareva Tenerife (42-57) for secure a place in the round of 16. Tomorrow Girona will know the opponent, depending on the result of the last match of the first phase against Valencia (7pm).
The brilliant defense a the second half was key to giving Girona their first victory in the state tournament. Dani Vives’ team left the opponent with only 10 points scored in the second 20 minutes and in this way they were able to turn the score around, which at the break was in favor of the Canaries (32-28).
Basketball Girona it also had the resignation of its main referent, Clàudia Acín, due to discomfort that also makes it a doubt for tomorrow. Without Acín, Melero (14) and Lukasevica (12) have been the top scorers.

Adareva Tenerife had managed to turn the game around in the second quarter (17-6) to go into the break leading by four, but in the restart, Básquet Girona imposed its defense to certify the triumph.

The cadet is out
The women’s cadet of Básquet Girona, on the other hand, will not repeat the success of the juniors and has been left out of the Spanish championship in its category. The team was fourth last weekend in the Catalan championship held in Bellpuig. Almeda was proclaimed new champion, seven seasons after the last occasion, after beating Joventut in the last game of the Final Four, making good the favorable average in the three-way tie with the green-and-blacks and with Barça CBS, all with a record of 2 wins and 1 loss. Both those from Cornellà de Llobregat and those from Badalona access the Spanish Championship that this season will be played from May 14 to 20 in Guadalajara. The Blaugrana team was third and Basketball Girona U16, fourth.
The last time that a team from Girona won the Cadet Catalonia championship in the 2014-15 season, with the Citylift Uni Girona. This year, on the other hand, Girona junior basketball has made history by winning the Catalan title 15 years after Don Piso, who had Marta Xargay in the squad, did so. Dani Vives’ team is still alive, now, in the Spanish championship.
