Brihanna Jackson was Querétaro's top scorer with 23 points; Joy Adams was Jalisco's top scorer with 15 points.
The match was very even at all times. Since the first quarter, no one gave anything away. Coach Jonathan Villegas knew he couldn't give another victory to his rival, and from the beginning, they showed aggression on the court, finishing 18-16.
But the team led by Orlando Sandro reacted and with more accuracy, they turned the score around 27-31 to go into halftime ahead.
Astros showed once again that they want to surprise everyone, and they took the lead again in the third quarter with a score of 42-40.
The closing was thrilling. Both teams gave it their all, and the audience was the biggest winner in a match where only one point made the difference, ending with a score of 62-61 in favor of the team from Jalisco, who will return to the Astros Arena this Friday at 20:30 for game 3.
