Elda Prestige could not pull off the second surprise of the week and the trend tilted in favor of Caja Rural Aula Valladolid with a final score of 33-28. The team known as the “Lions” from Elda faced Pucelanas and came up short by two goals with ten minutes remaining in the clash, 24-22.
José Miguel Cantos and Vanesa Amorós had already signaled the moment, ringing the bell for a spell just like they did in the qualifying round last Wednesday. The Queen’s Cup was up against Rocasa Gran Canaria in a memorable encounter.

However, the Valladolid side showed sharper timing in the closing phase and secured the win.
It felt like a sweet defeat for Aula Valladolid, a team pushing toward the top of the table while Elda Prestigio aimed to keep pace in the Iberdrola Guerreras League. The comeback story carried over from their 13-year absence from the competition.
Fernanda Lima from Brazil led Elda with eight goals, while Graci Duque contributed six to the tally.
