Right back at it, filling up the stat sheet.
Coupeville’s Makana Stone kept the number crunchers busy Saturday in England, racking up 14 points, six rebounds, four steals, and an assist as the Leicester Riders rolled to a blowout win.
Paced by their American assassin, the Riders bounced the Durham Palatinates 88-59 in Women’s British Basketball League action.
The victory came in the quarterfinals of the WBBL Trophy competition, one of two in-season tournaments mixed in with regular season games.
Leicester, now 12-5 on the season, returns to league play Feb. 20 against the Newcastle Eagles, while the WBBL Trophy semifinals will be played at a to-be-determined later date.
Saturday, it was all Riders, all the time, as the squad came out and scorched their rivals.
Up 19-10 at the first break, Leicester stretched the margin to 39-21 by halftime, then 60-44 through three quarters.
Stone was one of five Riders players to ring up double digits scoring, with Alison Lewis leading the way with 17 off the bench.
Oceana Hamilton (14), Brooklyn Mcalear (13), and Anna Lappenkuper (11) joined the hot shooters club.
Stone, who is in her first season as a professional hoops player, has recorded 134 points, 93 rebounds, 21 assists, and 17 steals.
