Leiden Women hosted Orange Lions in the WBL on Saturday, 4 October. The visitors secured an 80-90 victory to extend their winning streak. The result leaves Leiden rooted in seventh place after 27 matches.
Orange Lions move closer to the playoff positions with the win. Leiden's record of eight victories from 27 games shows a team still searching for consistency. The gap between them and the top half remains substantial.
Leiden's last outing ended in a 76-85 defeat to Den Helder Suns Women. Before that, they beat Triple Threat Women 85-67. The mixed results highlight the inconsistency that has defined their campaign.
Orange Lions came into this fixture with momentum. Their recent 59-64 loss to Binneland showed they could still compete at this level. Saturday's performance suggested they were ready to translate that competitiveness into a win.
The 10-point margin tells the story of a team finding its rhythm away from home. For Leiden, it's another setback in a season that has offered few bright spots. The WBL table continues to separate the contenders from the rest.
