He scored 13 points, grabbed 6 boards, passed 4 assists and added 3 steals. Bnei Hertzeliya (5-18) closes the standings in the Winner League.

Kareem Storey (6'0''-PG-92, graduated '15, plays in Romania) was not able to secure a victory for Medias (1-7) in their game against CSM Steaua Bucuresti (6-2) in the Romanian Liga Nationala, despite his good performance last Saturday. He scored 11 points, made 7 passes and 6 steals in 26 minutes. But the fifth-placed Medias (1-7) was crushed 84-60 in Bucuresti by the higher-ranked (#3) CSM Steaua in the Group Yellow. It was Medias' third consecutive loss in a row. There are only two games left until the end of the Second Stage. So now every game is very crucial. It's Storey's first season with the team. Storey has relatively good stats this year 13.9ppg, 2.6rpg, 3.7apg and 2.7spg in 19 games.
