WLBL Round 11 of Regular Season

Here is the last round review presented by LBM Management.

The game in supposed to be quite interesting. Second ranked Al Riyadi (11-1) played at the court of 8th ranked Damour (3-9). Al Riyadi smashed Damour 80-51 on Tuesday. They outrebounded Damour 47-34 including 33 on the defensive glass. Al Riyadi looked well-organized offensively handing out 28 assists comparing to just 10 passes made by Damour's players. It was a great evening for American center Sarah Boothe (195-1990, college: Stanford) who led her team to a victory with a double-double by scoring 20 points, 10 rebounds and 9 assists. American-Angolan guard Italee Lucas (172-1989, college: UNC) helped adding 20 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists. American Sonia Smith (170, college: GMU) responded with 15 points and 5 rebounds. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Al Riyadi have a solid series of four victories in a row. Defending champion keeps a position of league leader, which they share with Homentmen. Damour lost third consecutive game. Newly promoted team keeps the eighth place with nine games lost. Al Riyadi is looking forward to face Almtayleb (#9) in the next round and are hoping to win another game. Damour will play against NSA and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
Second ranked Homentmen (11-1) crushed at home 7th ranked NSA (4-8) by 38 points 92-54, which is the biggest margin this round. It was a quality performance for American LaDazhia Williams (193-1998, college: LSU) who led the winners and scored 22 points and 9 rebounds. Angel Baker accounted for 12 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists. American DeMyla Brown (170, college: Missouri) came up with 20 points and 7 rebounds for NSA in the defeat. Since the result was very predictable, it gave the chance for the coaches to test many bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Homentmen have a solid series of three victories in a row. They keep a position of league leader, which they share with Al Riyadi. NSA lost fourth consecutive game. They keep the seventh place with eight games lost. Homentmen will play against Bkennaya (#6) in the next round which should be theoretically another easy game. NSA will play against Damour and it may be a tough game between close rivals.

In the last two games of round 11 Antranik won against Almtayleb on the opponent's court 85-71. Beirut FC managed to outperform Bkennaya in a home game 78-72.
The most impressive stats of the last round was 40 points (!!!) and 18 rebounds by Jillian Hollingshead of Antranik.

Rather predictable result when fourth ranked Beirut FC (6-5) defeated at home 6th ranked Bkennaya (4-6) 78-72. Beirut FC players were unselfish on offense dishing 25 assists.
