The “Xeneize” surpassed the cast from Catamarca by 78-64 and added another success that accommodates him in the positions and allows him to dream of finishing in second place in the Cuyo Division.
For a new date of the Federal League, the Rioja team won another celebration in the 2022 season. Acting as a local on the pitch of the Riojano Club, they beat Hindú BBC de Catamarca and improve their campaign in the third category of national basketball.
Once again, the cast led by Enrique Picana Rodríguez did just enough wear to seize a valuable victory, which strengthens it by thinking about what will be the most relevant stage of the competition.
Hindú was not entirely precise in his shots and made too many mistakes, allowing Rioja to always stay ahead on the scoreboard. While the local was more effective, especially when he went to the painted area to seek to add, since he found good dividends in that aspect of the game.
Key to the victory of the Riojan team was the scoring contribution of Juan Meza, Nicolás Guaita and Yoel Cuenca, who contributed 21, 16 and 15 points, respectively. On the visiting side, Exequiel Rubio was the top scorer with 17 goals, consolidating an outstanding game
With this victory Rioja continues in the top lot and only has one game ahead to close the first phase. It will be measured against GEPU of San Luis next Friday, where it will try to win to keep the direct ticket to the playoffs, otherwise it will have to wait for other results.
