LFB (Spain) Queen's Cup Quarterfinals 2008 - Ibiza 80, Perfumerias 65




Perfumerias, meet Sancho Lyttle.

Perfumerias has won all sorts of honors this year. They're in the quarter-finals of Euroleague. They're second in the Liga Feminina. With that in mind, you could forgive Perfumerias for slacking a little bit, as Perfumerias falls to Ibiza by the score of 80-65 on Friday.

Yesterday was the very first time that Perfumerias lost on its home court this season. Coach Jose Ignacio Hernandez admitted that it "hurts a lot".

The box score is here. An album of photos can be found here.

Ibiza won every quarter...but for the first three quarters, not by much. Ibiza led 36-32 at halftime and at the end of the third quarter, Ibiza only led by seven, 59-52. However, in the fourth quarter Ibiza held Perfumerias to only thirteen points.
