Regular Season Round 8: Alexandria - Craiova 71-62

Date: November 9, 2011
Everything went according to plan when second ranked Alexandria (7-1) beat at home 6th ranked Craiova (5-3) 71-62. The hosts took control from the first minutes by winning first half. But Craiova won third quarter 23-16. However it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. Alexandria dominated on the defensive end, holding Craiova to just 7 points in fourth quarter. They made 24-of-30 charity shots (80.0 percent) during the game. Alexandria forced 22 Craiova turnovers and outrebounded them 48-37 including 17 on the offensive glass. The winners were led by American center Kari Laplante (195-89, college: USC) who had that evening a double-double by scoring 21 points and 19 rebounds and Serbian guard Marija Prlja (163-87) supported her with 23 points and 5 assists. Even 28 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists by American guard Brandie Hoskins (175-85) did not help to save the game for Craiova. Her fellow American import power forward El Sara Greer (188, college: Oregon St.) added 7 points, 15 rebounds and 5 assists for the guests. Alexandria have a solid three-game winning streak. They maintain second position with 7-1 record behind leader Targoviste, which they share with Alba Iulia and Targu Mures. Craiova at the other side keeps the sixth place with three games lost.
