Teamwork makes the dream work.
Putting six different players into double-digit scoring Saturday, including Coupeville’s Makana Stone, the Leicester Riders stormed to a big victory in Scotland.
Roaring from behind to finish the game on a 25-6 tear, the Riders routed the Caledonia Pride 77-62 in Women’s British Basketball League action.
With the victory, Leicester improves to 8-4 in league action, 11-5 overall.
Stone and Co. sit comfortably in fourth place in the 13-team WBBL.
The game was a tense affair most of the way, with the score knotted at 16-16 at the first break.
From there Caledonia surged ahead 38-33 by halftime, before carrying a 56-52 lead into the final frame.
Leicester had all the answers, however, throwing down 13 straight points en route to turning the fourth quarter into a romp.
Oceana Hamilton paced the Riders with a team-high 17, while Alison Lewis, making her debut after transferring in from Luxembourg earlier in the week, banked home 15.
Anna Lappenkuper (12), Hannah Robb (12), Stone (11), and Brooklyn Mcalear (10) also scored as Leicester shared the ball all day.
