Mailis Pokk scored 32 points Monday and broke the "Top 6" tournament scoring record in "Eclex Tallinn" 78-54 win over "Audentes" (0-6). Pokk surpassed Trine Kasemägi`s mark of 31 point.

 

"Top 6" tournament is a tough competition. You have to fight for your right to party – meaning to qualify for the "Final Six".

 

No one knows it better than Audentes players. They won seven consecutive games in October and November to book their ticket to the next round.

 

They have lost ten matches after – every single encounter against the ranked teams. "Audentes" girls can play good for 10 minutes, 20 minutes and then their more experienced opponents take over.

 

Exactly the same thing happened on Monday night. Audentes, strengthened by the return of Kadri Ann-Lass, fought brave until the end of the first half.

 

Trine Kasemägi hit a two pointer late in the second quarter to made it 31-30.

 

Laina Mesila-Kaarmann and Mailis Pokk sparked a 2-17 run in the next five minutes. Jaanus Levkoi girls extended their lead to fourteen points, 33-47, and never looked back.

 

All time series: 5-0 (this season 3-0)

 

Stat of the game: Audentes players turned the ball over 29 times. It was their worst performance in the second round.

 

Star of the game: Mailis Pokk set the new scoring record of the "Top 6" tournament. She had 32 points on 11 of 13 shooting inside the perimeter, made two three points and all four free throw attempts, while adding 11 rebounds, two assists and one steal.

 

Next games: Audentes vs TTT Rīga (February 28), Eclex Tallinn/1182 vs RSU/Merks (February 28).
