Regular Season Round 11: Lusitania - Benfica 75-73

Date: December 18, 2011
The most surprising game was the first loss of undefeated Benfica (10-1) in Angra on Sunday night. Visitors were edged by fifth ranked Lusitania (7-3) 75-73. It ended at the same time the ten-game winning streak of Benfica. The hosts trailed by 12 points after first quarter, but they rallied back and won the game by 2 points. Lusitania made 21-of-23 free shots (91.3 percent) during the game. Americans were the main players on the court. It was a great evening for point guard Ricky Franklin (185-87, college: Wisc.-Milwaukee) who led his team to a victory scoring 28 points (was perfect 7-for-7 from the free throw line). Forward Brian Mills (203-88, college: Mercer, agency: Pro One Sports) helped adding 13 points and 9 rebounds. Four Lusitania players scored in double figures. Forward Seth Doliboa (203-80, college: Wright St., agency: Hart Sports Mngm) responded with 18 points and 7 rebounds and guard Ted Scott (188-85, college: W.Virginia St., agency: Hart Sports Mngm) scored 22 points. Lusitania have a solid series of four victories in a row. They moved-up to third place, which they share with Ovarense. Benfica at the other side still keeps top position with one game lost. Lusitania is looking forward to face Sampaense (#8) in Coimbra in the next round which should be theoretically an easy game. Benfica will play at home against Barreirense CEPSA (#5) in Barreiro and is hoping to win this game.
