A two-week layoff did nothing to cool off her game.
Back on the hardwood for the first time since Jan. 21, Coupeville grad Makana Stone delivered a 14-point, 18-rebound, three-assist performance Sunday in Norway.
That, combined with 18 points from fellow American assassin Abbey Hoff, sparked Baerum to an 82-40 win over Storm Ungdom.
The win, which snaps a brief two-game losing skid for Stone and Co., lifts them to 11-5 on the season.
Baerum sits in third place in the seven-team Kvinneligaen, trailing just Ulriken (16-0) and Asker (13-4) and its next game is a rematch with the league’s second-place squad.
That tilt arrives Feb. 14, as the schedule currently has some large gaps in it.
Sunday’s rumble with the league’s cellar dweller started fairly close, with Baerum up 18-13 at the first break.
After that, Stone and her associates blew things open with 21-8 and 19-7 runs across the second and third quarters, respectively.
The former Wolf ace, who is in her second season of pro ball, achieved a pair of personal milestones in Sunday’s win, cracking 300 points and 200 rebounds for the campaign.
Stone has racked up 301 points, 202 rebounds, 35 assists, 43 steals, and 10 blocks while playing for Baerum.
