She’s on a rampage.

Coupeville grad Makana Stone unleashed her full fury Sunday, going off for a game-high 17 points and 24 rebounds as she led her Norwegian pro hoops team to its second-straight win.

Baerum bounced Storm Ungdom 55-36, lifting its record to 2-1 in the Kvinneligaen.

That puts Stone and Co. in a tie for second place in the seven-team league, trailing just Ulriken (4-0).

Baerum faces off with the other 2-1 squad, Asker, in its next game, which goes down Saturday, Oct. 29.

During the battle with Storm U., Stone almost outrebounded her opponent by herself, with Baerum holding a 48-29 advantage on the boards.

Fellow American Abbey Hoff added 15 points and seven rebounds in support of Coupeville’s supernova, and their squad held Storm U. to just 23.1% shooting from the floor.

Through three games in Norway, Stone has racked up 49 points, 44 rebounds, three assists, seven steals, and a blocked shot.

This is the second professional season for the former Wolf, who played in England last year.

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.

New season, new uniform.

She’s good for a double-double wherever she plays.

Coupeville High School grad Makana Stone kicked off her second season of professional basketball Friday, racking up 13 points and 12 rebounds while playing in Norway.

While the former Wolf added three steals and a block during her debut in the Kvinneligaen, it wasn’t enough to save her new squad, as Baerum fell 66-43 to Ulriken.

Stone, who played for Leicester in the Women’s British Basketball League last season, was on the court for a team-best 36 minutes Friday.

She’s one of two Americans on Baerum’s roster, joined by Abbey Hoff.

Stone’s 13 points topped her team’s scoring efforts, with Shibi Ahmadi chipping in with 10.

Ulriken had three players in double figures, as Synne Jacobsen (17), Klett Celine (16), and Stine Austgulen (14) combined to form a potent trio.

Baerum returns to action Sunday, Oct. 16, when Stone and her new teammates face off with Ullern.
