Now that’s a thumpin’.

Sparked by Coupeville’s Makana Stone, who went off for 14 points and 11 rebounds Sunday, the Leicester Riders drilled host Gloucester City 105-55 in Women’s British Basketball League action.

The victory lifts the former Wolf ace and her pro teammates to 9-4 in championship play, 13-5 overall.

Leicester came out on fire and never let up in the tilt, jumping out to a 29-17 lead after just one quarter of play.

It was the second frame which sealed the deal, however, with the Riders torching the nets to a 21-3 tune, stretching their advantage to 50-20 at the midway point of things.

From there Stone and Co. cruised in for the lopsided win, popping for another 25 points in the third quarter before topping the 100-point barrier with a 30-point explosion across the final 10 minutes.

Alison Lewis banked in a game-high 24 points to pace Leicester, with Brooklyn Mcalear adding 21, while Stone tossed in a steal and an assist to her double-double.

On the season, the Coupeville progeny has amassed 148 points, 104 rebounds, 22 assists, and 18 steals.

Leicester returns to action next weekend with a game Sunday, Mar. 6 against the Sevenoaks Suns, who sit atop the WBBL at 14-0.
