Maccabi Ramat-Hen 90 - Maccabi Raanana 94 (2 OT)
WOW. I saw one of the best games ever.
It was 66 - 64 when Katie Voigt missed twice from the line, 10 sec from time
Simone Edwards, who else, took the offensive rebound and made it 66 - 66
Raanana fail scoring and the game went to overtime
Simone scored 9 consecutive pts in 2 minutes and Ramat-Hen led 75 - 50
but then Shira Haelyon and Jaclyn Johnsonm, both with great game
made it 79 : 79, Nomy kolodny from Raanana could won the game but missed
two from the line. the game went to secind overtime
in overtime Raanana played without Amber Hall, Nili Natah and Sharon Zeevi who were fouled out
and Ramat-Hen without Van Embricqs and Katie Voigt
Raanana send to the game, Iris Dinerman who was sick and played only few minutes
in the first 45 minutes
Dinerman has two great baskets from mid range
Ramat-Hen missed from outside. Simone was limping badly with a leg injury
and Shira Haelyon again secured the victory for Raanana from the line.
two teams who will probably go far away this season.

Jaclyn Johnson 34 pts,12 reb (after 2 from 11 in the first half, she woke in the second half

like Venus Williams)
