Regular Season Round 16: Hitachi Cougars - Niigata 47-58

Date: November 11, 2012
Rather expected game when 9th ranked Hitachi Cougars (4-10) lost to seventh ranked Niigata (6-8) in Hitachinaka 47-58 on Sunday. The game was mostly controlled by Niigata. Hitachi Cougars managed to win fourth quarter 13-7. But it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. The winners were led by swingman Sangi Kanade (169-86) who scored that evening 24 points and 4 assists and guard Nozomi Hoshino (164-87) supported her with 7 points and 6 assists. Even 15 points and 6 rebounds by international forward Mami Yamada (176-88) did not help to save the game for Hitachi Cougars. Guard Hiroko Noda (164-83) added 13 points for lost side. Hitachi Cougars' coach Koju Munakata rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help. Niigata moved-up to sixth place, which they share with Denso Iris. Newly promoted Hitachi Cougars keep the ninth position with ten games lost. They share it with Aishin AW. Niigata will meet at home bottom-ranked Yamanashi QB (#12) in the next round where they are favorite. Hitachi Cougars will play against the league's leader JX Sunflowers in Kashiwa and hope to secure a win.
