Israeli League Round 18 February 11th

February 11, 2019

The double round-robin ended on Monday with a full round of simultaneous tipoffs.  Hapoel Petah-Tikva has been very dangerous when all three imports are firing on all cylinders and it was the combination of Khadijiah Cave, Monique Reid, and Alexis Peterson that got them an 81-71 overtime win over Alex Harden and Maccabi Ramat Hen.  Elitzur Holon got scoring from Alex Bentley and Jordan Hooper to force a three-way tie for second place after an 80-73 win over Danielle Adams and Maccabi Ashdod.  More overtime meant that Crystal Bradford was able to seal the scoring title even though she was just short in rebounding as Herzliya beat Bria Goss, Teanna Muldrow, and Maccabi Raanana 79-75.  Alexis Jones and Ramat Hasharon kept Andrea Riley and shorthanded Bnei Yehuda winless 79-66.  Elitzur Ramla finished proving that they were the class of this stage after Jaime Nared and Tiffany Mitchell led them past Hapoel Ironi Rishon Lezion 84-71.
