She’s a winner everywhere she goes.
Coupeville High School grad Makana Stone collected a basketball victory in yet another country Sunday, tossing in a team-high 19 points in Norway, sparking Baerum to a 60-59 win over Ullern.
The triumph lifts Stone and her new teammates to 1-1 on the season, pulling them into a second-place tie in the Kvinneligaen.
The difference in the game came down to shooting, as Ullern struggled from the field, popping in just 34.2% of its shots.
By contrast, Stone was sizzlin’, connecting on 8-11 from the floor and 3-4 at the free throw line.
She added eight rebounds, two assists, and two steals to go with her point explosion, while running mate Julie McCarthy snatched a game-high 14 rebounds.
Abbey Hoff banked in 12 points for Baerum in support of Stone, with Camilla Gjerstad knocking down 11, as the trio combined for more than two-thirds of their team’s offensive output.
Ullern’s Laura Basora rippled the nets for four three-balls en route to a game-best 20 points.
Stone, who played professionally in Britain last season, has 32 points, 20 rebounds, two assists, five steals, and a blocked shot through her first two games in Norway’s pro league.
Baerum returns to action next Sunday, Oct. 23, when it faces off with Storm U.
