Polish League Round 12 December 21st-22nd
A full round was played midweek before the holiday and Katarina Zec and Lublin piled more misery on Bydgoszcz 96-44 in one of four Thursday games. Zaglebie Sosnowiec won 69-57 against Polonia Warszawa. Pruszkow is no closer to a first win after losing to Nathalie Fontaine and Arka Gdynia 98-43. The combination of Sug Sutton and Maya Dodson lifted Poznan past Torun 78-69. Lindsay Allen had an incredible scoring day on Thursday to make sure that Gorzow stayed perfect with a 96-80 win over Stephanie Jones, Karolina Stefanczyk, and Sleza Wroclaw.

Israeli League Round 9 December 22nd
The cup game above meant that a full Thursday round could not be played as scheduled, leaving three games on the docket. Maccabi Ramat Gan was down an import and Jillian Alleyne nearly made up for that herself, but they fell short of handing Shatori Walker-Kimbrough and Maccabi Ashdod their first loss 80-70. Courtney Hurt led Elitzur Holon, which is still figuring out the right lineup combinations, in an 86-76 win over Mikayla Cowling and Hapoel Petah Tikva. Amy Okonkwo and Maccabi Haifa closed the day with a 99-70 win over ASA Jerusalem.
