Tenerife Libby’s La Laguna Eyes Semifinal Spot in Menorca Showdown

Tenerife Libby’s La Laguna faces a crucial weekend as they look to secure a spot in the Liga Iberdrola semifinals. After winning the first match of the series, the team travels to Menorca with a 1-0 lead, ready to challenge the league’s regular-season leaders.

Ricardo Lemos’s squad showed great resilience in their 3-1 opening victory, which was played under difficult circumstances. Due to storm Therese, the team was forced to move the match from their usual home court to the Colegio Cisneros Pavilion. Despite the disruption, standout performances from Marga Pizá and Alli Cudworth helped the team overcome an early deficit, continuing a strong run that has seen them win eight of their last eleven games.

The upcoming challenge at the Pavelló Municipal D’Esports will be their toughest yet. Avarca de Menorca has been unbeatable at home all season, making their court a true fortress. Coach Lemos believes the key to success lies in mental toughness; he has urged his players to stay disciplined and focused, whether they close out the series this Saturday at 6:00 PM or are pushed to a third match on Sunday at 5:00 PM.

This is a new experience for the Tenerife team, who must now learn to play with the pressure of a series lead against a top-tier opponent. Lemos is focused on keeping his players grounded and determined as they aim to reach the semifinals, regardless of the intense atmosphere they will face in Menorca. Their ability to perform in such a difficult environment will ultimately decide if they advance.
