Susan Peters scored 20 points on 9-10 shooting and led four other Lions in double figures as the Lions cruised to a 64-99 victory on MPC Celeritudo Groningen. Tanya Bröring scored 17 points, Gerda Heinen had 16 and Belinda Bos and Kati Burrows both had 14.

Burrows was on the court for 21 minutes and left a good impression. "Kati earned herself a contract", coach Laki Lakner said. "She's not in a very good game-shape yet, but I think she can help us. She can score, she can rebound and she's a hard worker. So we like her to stay for the rest of the season."

Amanda Davidson and Sharon Bos both scored 9 points.

MPC was able to follow the Lions for one quarter. Tanya Bröring hit three 3-pointers in the period, but Patrice Bryant and Rachel Wojdowksi kept Groningen in ProBuild's trail.

By the start of the second period the Lions led by 17-21, when Gerda Heinen scored a driving lay-up to spark a 0-12 Lions run, 17-33. Kati Burrows scored her first points for ProBuild and contributed 5 points in the surge

By halftime the Lions led by 30-47.

In the third period ProBuild spurted to a 35-82 lead (5-35 in the period), with 13 points from Susan Peters, but in the last quarter the Lions' defense collapsed more ore less, allowing Groningen to score 29 points, while scoring just 17.

"We lost our concentration", coach Laki Lakner said. "Sometimes that happens when a team leads by 40 points. And our bench was just three players deep tonight, because our second unit had to play a game at the same time. And one of our eight players made her debut, naturally without knowing our plays very thoroughly. So, overall I'm not unsatisfied with the way we played."

Groningen was led in scoring by Rachel Wojdowksi, who had 25 points.

Saturday ProBuild travels to the northern city of Groningen to battle MPC Celeritudo. Until now Groningen was succesful in only four games and is in 8th seed. As MPCs roster is not filled with a lot of talented Dutch players, much responsibility is laid with the American duo Rachel Wojdowksi and Patrice Bryant. With the ProBuild Lions former Montana State University star-forward Kati Burrows will make her debut.

Lions Breeze Past Yellow Bike, 71-59

Tanya Bröring and the ProBuild Lions sent another strong message to first seeded Yellow Bike Den Helder. The Lions pushed Yellow Bike around in a 71-59 victory that marked Yellow Bike's first loss in the regular competition. Bröring scored 19 points, Amanda Davidson added 14 and Belinda Bos chipped in with 11.

Dena Williams was sidelined in the first period with a knee injury. Trainer Rene Wormhoudt diagnosed a torn ligament on the inner side of the knee and said Williams will probably be out for 5-6 weeks. "I don't know, I slipped, or something," Williams said after the game. "I can walk, but it hurts and my knee is still swelling. Bad luck, I guess." Williams is scheduled for a MRI Monday or Tuesday.

The Lions jumped quickly on Den Helder and raced to a 17-8 lead at the end of the period. In the second period Susan Peters hit a 3-pointer to ignite a 11-0 Lions burst, 32-14. A technical foul by coach Laki Lakner and one by Nadine Boesaart - her fifth - gave Yellow Bike the opportunity to get back in the game, scoring 10 successive points to narrow the gap to 32-24. But Tanya Bröring, Gerda Heinen and Sharon Bos all scored to give the Lions a comfortable 12-point cushion at halftime, 38-26.

Without Dena Williams and Nadine Boesaart and with Sharon Bos in foul-trouble, the Lions started the third quarter with a shortage of post-players, but compensated for that by a full-court press, limiting Yellow Bike's opportunities to get into the paint and capitalize on their height-advantage. The gap stayed around 12 points during the whole second half. Amanda Davidson and Tanya Bröring combined for 14 of ProBuilds' 17 points in the last period to seal the victory.

Coach Laki Lakner said he was proud of the way his team played defense. "Since the first half championship tournament, we struggled a little on defense, but last weeks we showed signs of improvement and tonight we were back on the level we showed at the beginning of January. We did not make many mistakes. I mean: Den Helder averages 86 points this season and tonight they had 59."

Tanya Bröring scored 27 points as the ProBuild Lions posted a 91-79 victory on Perik Jumpers in Tubbergen. Gerda Heinen added 16 points, Amanda Davidson had 15 and Dena Williams contributed 12 points, 6 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks.

The Lions trailed until halfway the third period and never led by more than three points until the last two minutes of the game.

Coach Laki Lakner said he was proud of his team, pulling the victory from the jaws of defeat in the last minutes. "We have a busy week behind us, winning three tough away-games. Wednesday we had to go deep to pull a win in the semi-finals of the Dutch Cup Competition at Amazone in Utrecht. That showed tonight. In tonight's game we lacked defensive aggressiveness most of the game, giving away easy baskets and letting Perik Jumpers stay in the game. Offensively we struggled too at times, although we shot an admirable 51% from the floor, but in the end we showed our toughness, winning the last period by 9-28. Our bench is much deeper than Perik's and that showed in the end."

The Lions trailed 27-19 at the end of the first period and looked at a 35-23 deficit halfway the second. At that point coach Lakner ordered a time-out and told his team to drive hard to the basket. By doing this the Lions were able to cut the deficit to 44-38 t halftime.

Gerda Heinen started the second half by stealing the ball and making a lay-up before Tanya Bröring and Dena Williams both made a pair of free throws around a score by Melissa Pater for Perik Jumpers, 46-45. Next Sharon Bos buried a 3-pointer, giving the Lions its first lead of the game.

Perik and ProBuild exchanged leads until the last two minutes of the game. Amanda Davidson gave ProBuild its decisive lead with 2.17 minutes on the clock, snapping a 79-79 tie with a 3-pointer. Sharon Bos followed with a pair of free throws before Tanya Bröring hit another pair and Dena Williams made a steal and a lay-up, 79-88. Tanya Bröring sealed the win, drilling a trey in the last second of the game.

Five Lions posted double figures as ProBuild never trailed and cruised to a 61-79 victory on AutoCAD Amazone. Belinda Bos, Amanda Davidson and Gerda Heinen all three had 14 points, Dena Williams added 12 and Sharon Bos 10.

Coach Laki Lakner saw that his team squandered a 16 point lead in the second period. Lakner did not liked this at all and left no misunderstanding about it in the locker room at halftime. "I want everybody on this team take pride in playing good defense", he said. "And some players lacked the intensity in the second quarter. I found that disappointing, because I want us to be the best defensive team in the league, like we were in the first half of the season." On the other hand Lakner said he was proud of how his team played in the second half.

Sharon Bos, Dena Williams and Gerda Heinen all three scored 6 points in the first quarter as the Lions raced to a 17-25 lead, but they undid a solid first quarter with an awful second period, first widening the gap to 17-33, but next allowing Amazone to almost tie the game at halftime, 39-40.

Amazone stayed close until the 6th minute of the third period, 48-49, before 3-pointers by Susan Peters and Belinda Bos triggered a 2-11 surge to make it 50-60 by the end of the quarter. A trey by Amanda Davidson and two more baskets by Belinda Bos gave the Lions a comfortable 53-68 lead three minutes into the 4th period.

Dena Williams scored 21 points, pulled down 9 rebounds and had a crucial steal to help the Lions to advance to the semi-finals of the Dutch Cup Competition. Amanda Davidson added 15 points and Sharon Bos 12 as the Lions outlasted Lely 58-69 in the Amsterdam Apollohal.

Coach Laki Lakner was not quite satisfied, however.

"We won, just because they played even worse than we did", he said. "Our defensive rotation was not right, and on offense we struggled most of the game. We have to get our form back soon, because we have some tough games scheduled the coming weeks."

After the first period the game was tied 18-18, but at halftime the Lions led 27-37. With 5 minutes on the clock in the third quarter ProBuild led as many as 14 points, but then stayed scoreless for 5 minutes, allowing Lely to cut the deficit to 38-45 by the end of the quarter.

In the 4th period Lely closed in to 3 points in the 7th minute, 47-50, but Amanda Davidson responded with a 3-pointer and Dena Williams made a steal and a lay-up, 47-55. A score by Tanya Bröring and another from Amanda Davidson made it 50-59 with one minute to go. That proved to be sufficient to seal the victory. Lely started fouling in the last minute and Sharon Bos hit 6-out-of-8 free throws.

The Lions wasted an almost perfect game by Sharon Bos falling to Binnenland 69-78 on their home court in Landsmeer. Bos scored 22 points and pulled down 9 rebounds. Dena Williams had 10 points, 11 rebounds and 4 blocked shots, but couldn't contain Binnenlands center Tri Jackson, who scored 24 points. Amanda Davidson added 14 points and Tanya Bröring chipped in with 12.

Coach Laki Lakner said he saw it coming at the beginning of the game. "We lacked intensity and aggressiveness", he said. "I think maybe we underestimated them a little after last week's rout. Although we were not in the game, we were ahead by 16 points in the third period, which says something, but were not able to contain them in the second half of the 3rd period and the 4th. I give them the credits for that."

Tri Jackson scored 6 points in the first four minutes as Binnenland raced to 2-9 lead and coach Laki Lakner had to take a time-out. Dena Williams scored six consecutive points to gave the Lions their first lead, 16-15 in the 8th minute of the period.

Fueled by Nadine Boesaart two 3-pointers in the second period, the Lions pulled away to a 34-27 lead with 3 minutes on the clock in the quarter. At halftime ProBuild led by 39-31.

A basket and a bonus by Amanda Davidson gave the Lions 48-32 lead in the 4th minute of the third period, before Binnenland rediscovered their form and placed a 0-13 run, getting seven points from Laura Kooij. By the end of the quarter Irene Sloof tied the game for Binnenland, 52-52. In the 4th period Binnenland took the lead for good on two baskets by Tri Jackson, 54-58. Irene Sloof widened their lead to 62-76 with 1:56 remaining before Sharon Bos hit two free throws, Amanda Davidson drilled a 3-pointer and Bos hit another pair of free throws, 69-76. However, the Lions' effort was too little and too late. In the last seconds Laura Kooij sealed Binnenland's victory by making two free throws.

Lions Win Final Four Tournament

When coach Laki Lakner landed in Landsmeer this summer, he said he came to win prices. Lakner, a native of Croatia, kept his word. Maybe sooner than expected the Lions emerged as serious contenders for the championship. Saturday night they humiliated the reigning Champion of the Netherlands, Yellow Bike Den Helder, who were outclassed in almost every aspect of the game.

Amanda Davidson, Friday's MVP, had another solid performance, scoring 20 points for the Lions. Tanya Bröring scored 16 points and was chosen as Saturday's MVP. Dena Williams, came into foul trouble early in the game and was on the court for just 18 minutes, still had 9 points and 9 rebounds and played an important role in the last period.

Coach Laki Lakner said he enjoyed the weekend. "We started this season with eight new players and we build the team from scratch. We have some real young, but rough talents, who didn't even know how to witch or to hedge properly. So we were really surprised we lost just two games in the first half of the season. But the girls developed very fast individually and as a team. In the competition we lost from Den Helder and Binnenland, last years finalists of the play offs. And now we routed them by ten and twenty points. So, yes, I'm a happy man tonight."

Dena Williams netted the first basket for the Lions and in the third minute Tanya Bröring hit two free throws to gave the Lions the lead for good, 7-6. ProBuild held a 18-15 lead at the end of the quarter. Dena Williams picked up her third foul by that time, defending Naomi Halman, Yellow Bike's 6-4 Dutch center. With her on the bench, the Lions unexpectedly pulled away in the second quarter, placing a 14-2 run, fueled by 3-pointers by Amanda Davidson, Nadine Boesaart and Susan Peters, widening the gap to 35-17 in the 6th minute. At halftime the Lions held a 43-25 lead.

In the third period Den Helder managed to cut the deficit to 45-56 and in the 4rd quarter even to 49-58, but Tanya Bröring ensured Yellow Bike would get no closer, drilling a shot form the arc, 49-61. Amanda Davidson added a trey and a score to widen the gap to 66-51 again. After Dena Williams had a field goal and a bonus, Davidson hit four free throws to seal the Lions victory. She scored 11 of her 20 points in the 4rd period.

Tanya Bröring had 21 points and Amanda Davidson scored 19 points as the Lions routed Renes/Binnenland 87-65 in semi-finals of the Final Four tournament. Davidson was chosen as the MVP of the game by a jury consisting of the head coaches of the four teams.

Dena Willams had a stellar performance with 15 points in just two periods, but was sidelined in the second half with a minor injury. Trainer René Wornhoudt said he just wanted to be on the safe side, but that Williams likely will be able to play tomorrow.

In the finals the Lions will battle Yellow Bike Den Helder, who beat AutoCAD Amazone, 86-68.

Dena Williams scored the Lions' first 8 points, before Amanda Davidson made 10-5. Two free throws by Tanya Bröring gave the Lions a 21-9 lead before Amanda Davidson drilled a 3-pointer that increased the lead to 24-9 at the end of the period.

Binnenlands Irene Sloof hit a 3-pointer to make 27-12, but Dena Williams followed with a lay-up for the Lions, 29-12. The Lions steadily pulled away to widen their lead to 47-25 at halftime.

With Dena Williams sidelined in the second half ProBuild had no trouble helding the lead, ending the 3rd period with a 22-point cushion, 64-42. In the 4rd period coach Laki Lakner brought his juniors Maaike van de Bovenkamp, Bettine Heinen en Annicke van der Burg on the court, saving his starters for tomorrows Finals. In the 10th minute Tanya Bröring sealed the victory with a driving lay-up.
