The team coached by Javi Pérez de los Reyes remained undefeated at home, defeating MCR Lima-Horta Barcelona 76-46 to secure their spot in the LF Challenge Final Four, which will be held in Vigo next week. With this victory, the Malaga-based team has qualified for the final stage of the competition—where teams compete for promotion to the Liga Femenina Endesa—for the second consecutive year.
Unicaja secured their first-ever bronze medal in the BCL after defeating a tenacious La Laguna Tenerife in the third-place game in which Tenerife made Unicaja work hard for the win until the final buzzer (85-80). In a fast-paced, back-and-forth affair, the team found a way to prevail in the closing stages, thanks to the scoring of Chase Audige and Kendrick Perry. Audige was the standout player (15 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 18 PIR).
Unicaja will play for third and fourth place in the BCL Final Four this Saturday, May 9th, against a familiar foe: La Laguna Tenerife (5:00 PM, broadcasted by Teledeporte, Andalucía TV, and Unicaja Baloncesto Radio, live from Le Grand Café Centro). The team will look to close out their participation in the final phase in Badalona in search of the bronze medal against the tough island side.
Unicaja point guard Kendrick Perry received two awards at the BCL Gala, being named Defensive Player of the Year for the 2025-26 season and selected to the league's All-Decade Team. Chris Duarte was also named to the All-Decade Second Team. Congratulations!
