Call it a sweet sweep.
Polishing off a two-win weekend, Coupeville’s Makana Stone and her pro hoops team sailed to a second-straight victory over the same team.
Playing just as effectively Sunday as it did Saturday, the Leicester Riders topped the Oaklands Wolves 82-41 in Women’s British Basketball League action.
With the victory, which came on the heels of an 83-47 triumph over Oaklands a day earlier, the Riders rise to 11-4 in WBBL play, 15-6 overall.
Leicester sits comfortably in fourth place in the 13-team league.
Stone and Co. basically offered up a repeat beatdown, once again building a first half lead, then blitzing the Wolves after the halftime break.
A 17-12 advantage after one quarter turned into a 39-25 bulge by the half, then a towering 63-32 lead heading into the fourth.
Leicester had balanced scoring, led by 21 points from Hannah Robb, and was able to limit playing time for starters such as Stone.
The CHS grad finished with five points, nailing a rare three-ball, while snatching four rebounds and handing out three assists.
On the season Stone has racked up 164 points, 122 boards, 27 assists, and 19 steals.
Leicester returns to action Mar. 19, when it faces off with the Durham Palatinates, who sit at 4-10 in WBBL play.
