CSTA United Extend Winning Run with Road Victory
CSTA United saw off the Orange Lions 75-67 on Saturday afternoon in the WBL. The visitors took the win away from home, finishing with an eight-point margin on the scoreboard. The result came at the arena in front of supporters who had watched the Lions battle through two recent fixtures.
It was a third consecutive victory for CSTA United, who had won their last three outings before this one. They beat Den Helder 80-76 on Wednesday, then Triple Threat 67-54, and now the Lions. The run has kept them in the hunt for a higher finish, sitting sixth after twenty-seven games.
The Orange Lions, meanwhile, have now lost two in a row. They had pulled off a 91-80 win over Leiden just a week earlier, but this time found no answer against a side that had hit its rhythm. The scoreline told the story of a match that slipped away, though the final margin was tighter than the result suggested.
By then, the visitors had established enough of a cushion to control the tempo. CSTA United's recent form shows a team that is finding its footing — three wins from three, scoring freely in each outing. The Lions had shown they could produce big numbers, as the Leiden game proved, but couldn't match that output here.
The result keeps CSTA United in the mix for a better position in the table. Sixteen defeats in twenty-seven games still leaves room for improvement, but this run suggests the side is turning a corner. The Orange Lions will need to regroup if they want to avoid slipping further behind.
