Win and win again.

That’s the goal this weekend for Makana Stone and the Leicester Riders basketball squad, which has back-to-back clashes with the Oaklands Wolves.

Consider part one of the mission a success.

With its Coupeville assassin filling up the stat chart Saturday with five points, nine rebounds, two assists, and a steal, Leicester cruised to an 83-47 win.

Now, Stone and Co. return to the court Sunday to face the Wolves again, finishing what they hope will be a flawless weekend.

With the victory Saturday, Leicester improves to 10-4 in regular-season Women’s British Basketball League play, 14-6 overall.

The Riders exploded out of the gate against the Wolves, nabbing a 20-9 lead after one quarter of play.

While the two teams played to a 17-17 standstill in the next frame, the second half belonged completely to Leicester.

A 21-13 third-quarter surge pushed the lead out to 19, before the Riders closed the game on a 25-8 tear.

Leicester spread its offense out nicely, with all eight players in action scoring, and five of those Riders reaching double-digits.

Brooklyn Mcalear and Alison Lewis topped all scorers with an efficient 15 points apiece.

Stone, who is in her first season of professional basketball, has racked up 159 points, 118 rebounds, 24 assists, and 19 steals for Leicester.
