Regular Season Round 2: Niigata R. - Hitachi Cougars 57-67

Date: October 8, 2016
Niigata R. (0-1) recorded a loss in Tokyo on Saturday night. Hosts were defeated by Hitachi Cougars (1-0) 67-57. The game was mostly controlled by Hitachi Cougars. Niigata R. managed to win fourth quarter 16-12. But it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. They dominated on the defensive end, holding Niigata R. to just 6 points in third quarter. They outrebounded Niigata R. 56-35 including a 31-12 advantage in offensive rebounds. The best player for the winners was swingman Elina Sugawara (177-93) who had a double-double by scoring 21 points and 10 rebounds. Swingman Ishiguro Mutsumi (175-92) chipped in 11 points and 9 rebounds. Four Hitachi Cougars players scored in double figures. Power forward Mei Chi (175-90) produced 15 points and forward Anka Ohama (180-92) added 12 points and 5 rebounds respectively for the hosts. Both coaches used bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Hitachi Cougars will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game. Niigata R. will play again at home against Hitachi Cougars (#4) and is hoping to prove to their fans that the loss was just an accident.
