Top-Tier Women’s Basketball Clash Set for Coruna

CORUNA, Spain (March 27, 2026) (Interstat) — A pivotal matchup in the Spain LF women’s professional basketball league tips off Saturday when the visiting GDKO Bizkaia (17-6) challenge the league-leading Maristas (20-3) at Coruna.

The contest features a clash between one of the league’s hottest teams and its most consistent powerhouse. Maristas enters with the best record in the competition, having won 10 of their last 11 games. Their most recent outing was a dominant 85-57 road victory over Siroko Gijon on March 21.

GDKO Bizkaia, however, presents a formidable obstacle, riding a two-game winning streak and having handed Maristas one of their three losses this season. In their first meeting on Dec. 13, 2025, Bizkaia edged Maristas 68-66 on their home floor.

A key matchup will be at forward, featuring two of the league’s most productive players. Bizkaia’s Leyre Vindel is coming off a spectacular performance, posting 24 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists in a win over Ausarta on March 21. Over her last five games, she is averaging 17.6 points and 8.2 rebounds.

She will be countered by Maristas’ Sofia Arcos, a double-double threat who recorded 14 points and 13 rebounds in the win over Siroko Gijon. Arcos has tallied three double-doubles in her last five appearances, anchoring Maristas’ frontcourt.

While Maristas boasts the superior record and has outscored opponents by an average of 18.2 points in their last three wins, GDKO Bizkaia has proven its resilience. Their only loss in the last five games was a narrow 57-54 defeat to Maresme on March 7.

The game is scheduled for 6 p.m. local time at Coruna. Following this matchup, Maristas will travel to face Mondragon on April 11, while GDKO Bizkaia hosts Mariscos on the same date.
