How Obras Built the Win

Obras' victory was built on defense and free-throw shooting. The hosts held Union Florida to 41% from the field and forced 16 turnovers, turning several of those into transition points. On offense, Obras attacked the paint consistently, drawing fouls and getting to the line 22 times, where they converted 18 free throws. That eight-point advantage at the stripe proved decisive in a four-point game.

Valentina Fernández led Obras with 19 points, including seven in the fourth quarter. Camila Roldán added 15 points and nine rebounds, while Lucía Martínez finished with 12 points and six assists. The trio combined for 46 points and kept Obras composed when Union Florida made its run.

Union Florida's Fightback

Union Florida refused to fade. After falling behind by 12 early in the third, they tightened their half-court defense and began to find rhythm from beyond the arc. Julieta Ale was the catalyst, scoring 22 points and grabbing seven rebounds. Marina Sáez added 14 points, and Sofía Benítez chipped in 10. A 10-0 run in the third quarter brought Union Florida within two, and they briefly took the lead early in the fourth.

But the visitors could not sustain their offensive efficiency. They shot just 4-of-14 from three-point range in the second half and missed several open looks in the final minutes. Obras' defensive rebounding improved late, limiting second-chance opportunities.

Tactical Story

Obras used a compact 2-3 zone in the second quarter to slow Union Florida's dribble penetration, sparking the decisive 24-12 run. In the second half, Union Florida adjusted by attacking the high post and kicking out to shooters. Obras countered with a smaller lineup that switched more screens and pressured the ball. The chess match continued until the final minute, when Obras' half-court execution and free-throw accuracy made the difference.

What It Means for the Standings

The win gives Obras Women another important result in the Argentina Women's LLF regular season and reinforces their home-court advantage. For Union Florida Women, the loss is a missed opportunity to gain ground in the standings, but the narrow margin against a strong opponent suggests they remain a dangerous team in the playoff race. Both sides will look to build on different lessons: Obras on their late-game poise, and Union Florida on their ability to erase a double-digit deficit on the road.
