The Catalan side carried a quiet pride for much of the encounter, using that confidence to seize early momentum and, in the second half, to unsettle the hosts. With Nuez, Sans, and Robles directing the offense, Sant Quirze found the scoreboard first, crafting a two-goal burst at 10-12 and again at the 22nd minute to push ahead.
Elche’s women answered forcefully as the opening period wore on, putting together a 3-0 run that created a brief cushion for the home side. Under the leadership of Gascó and Bernabé, the visitors kept the pressure on, widening the gap to four points at 19-15 just before halftime (min. 36). The challenge from the Catalans intensified, but it was the Elche squad under Joaquín Rocamora that reclaimed a late opportunity to extend the cushion and shape the psychological balance for the rest of the game.
The Catalan defense regrouped after halftime, stepping up to narrow the gap to 22-20 (min. 46). Yet a quick response from Nicole Morales, followed by a crucial moment at the crossbar, paused Sant Quirze’s momentum and left them staring at a narrow difference in the scoreline as the clock ticked on.
In the final stretch, Morales continued to influence play with timely saves, while Bernabé and Duque added important goals—eight and seven respectively—along with Gascó contributing six. Their sustained push stretched the advantage and helped Elche secure a victory that may have underplayed Sant Quirze’s effort but did not diminish its significance. The win also marked a milestone for CBM Elche, as they remained in sixth place in the league and kept a window open for the Queen’s Cup amid a tight battle with Granollers, who had defeated Rocasa Gran Canaria.
With five games remaining in the season, Elche’s squad is positioned to defend its standing while continuing to chase a successful result in the Queen’s Cup. The team’s depth was on display in this clash, illustrating the balance between the experienced players and the younger contributors who joined Ángela Rodríguez’s junior squad for the first time, contributing to a resilient performance that reflected the team’s broader ambitions for the year.
