Preview: CBF Manresa at Mondragon in Women’s LF Basketball

MONDRAGON, Spain (Interstat) — Two teams jockeying for position in the Spain LF women’s basketball standings will meet Saturday when Mondragon hosts CBF Manresa.

The matchup features clubs with nearly identical records. Manresa enters at 10-11, while Mondragon sits at 10-12. Both teams are coming off contrasting results in their last outings.

Manresa looks to rebound from a narrow 62-57 home loss to GDKO Bizkaia on March 15. In that defeat, guard Eva Almasque contributed 6 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists. Almasque, a player to watch for the visitors, has been a consistent contributor, including an 11-point, 8-rebound performance in a win over Pontevedra last month.

Mondragon arrives with momentum after a tight 68-66 road victory over Maresme on March 14. Forward Izar Bedia powered that win with a dominant 23-point, 11-redouble-double. Bedia, Mondragon’s key player, is in strong form, averaging 21.5 points and 13.5 rebounds over her last two games, both wins.

The season series currently favors Manresa. In their first meeting on Dec. 7, Manresa secured a decisive 78-58 home victory. Saturday’s game offers Mondragon a chance for home-court revenge.

For Manresa, support for Almasque will be crucial. Mariona Teixido (14 points) and Carla Ortas (10 points) were productive in the recent loss and will need to replicate that efficiency.

Mondragon will rely on Bedia’s interior presence, but will require secondary scoring. Joana Antonio posted a double-double (10 points, 10 rebounds) in the win over Maresme, providing vital support.

The game tips off Saturday, March 21, 2026, in Mondragon. Both teams seek a victory to push their record above .500 and build momentum for the final stretch of the season.
