Date: October 19, 2011
No shocking result in a game when third ranked Valmiera (2-1) beat on the road bottom-ranked Liepaja (0-3) 76-72. Liepaja was ahead by 2 points at the halftime before a 39-33 second half run of Valmiera. They made 24-of-30 charity shots (80.0 percent) during the game. Liepaja was plagued by 24 personal fouls down the stretch. It was a great evening for the former international forward Ernests Kalve (200-87) who led his team to a victory scoring 18 points and 8 rebounds. American guard Jai Lucas (177, college: Texas) helped adding 16 points and 5 assists. The best for the losing side was American guard Josh Mayo (182-87, college: Ill.-Chicago, agency: RIZO) with 18 points and 6 assists and center Edmunds Dukulis (204-92) scored 16 points and 7 rebounds. Five Valmiera and four Liepaja players scored in double figures. Valmiera maintains third place with 2-1 record behind leader Ventspils. Liepaja at the other side still closes the standings with three games lost. Valmiera will play against league's second-placed VEF Riga on the road in the next round and it will be for sure the game of the week. Liepaja will play against U18 (#6) in Riga and looks forward to get finally their first victory.
