The first cup weekend of the season. Only Men U19-1 won their cup tie (in Leiden) and go through; Men U16 (at MBCA A’veen), Women U21 (by just three points against Trajanum) and Men 1 (at Den Helder Suns) are out. Women 1 won in the league, 80-61 against Jolly Jumpers.
Men U16 lose cup tie at MBCA A’veen
Men U16 lost 85-49 at MBCA A’veen on Sunday in the first round of the Basketball Cup, against the same opponent as eight days earlier in the league (36-92 in Bemmel). The margin was smaller than then (36 points against 56), and United scored 13 points more than in the league game. That ends Men U16’s cup run. In the league, an away game at BC Triple ThreaT in Haarlem follows on Sunday 1 November (16:15).

Men U19-1 win cup tie at BS Leiden 2
Men U19-1 won 79-85 at BS Leiden 2 in the first round of the Basketball Cup on Saturday afternoon.

Women U21 lose cup tie by three points to Trajanum
Women U21 lost 68-71 to Trajanum at De Kooi on Saturday morning in the first round of the Basketball Cup. It was a lot closer than two weeks earlier, when Trajanum won the league game 43-65, and 68 points is also the highest score of the season (previously 47, 52, 43 and 49). That ends Women U21’s cup run. In the league, a home game against River Trotters follows on Saturday 31 October (11:00).

Men 1 lose cup tie at Den Helder Suns
Men 1 lost 95-67 at Den Helder Suns on Sunday in the first round of the Basketball Cup. It was the second defeat in nine days, after the 75-79 home loss to Utrecht Basketball, and the hoped-for redemption didn’t come: that ends Men 1’s cup run. In the league, Men 1 are fourth in the Promotiedivisie at 3-2. On Saturday 31 October the home game against De Groene Uilen follows at De Kooi (19:30), the team that beat United 80-75 in September.

Women 1 stay perfect in the league after 80-61 against Jolly Jumpers
Women 1 didn’t play a cup tie this weekend but a league game: on Saturday evening United beat Jolly Jumpers 80-61 at De Kooi and are now five from five in the Women’s Basketball League. The start took a while: United trailed 13-16 after the first quarter, but won the next three quarters (24-19, 19-13 and 24-13) and pulled away to a 19-point margin in the second half.
Kaylee Borden was the standout with 24 points (three three-pointers), eight rebounds, five assists and three steals, followed by Cassie Joli-Coeur with 23 points (including four offensive rebounds) and Natalie Pasco with 17 (also three three-pointers). Rinske Scholten handed out six assists. Jolly Jumpers got to the free-throw line more often (13 of 17, against 6 of 16 for United), but made only four threes against United’s eight.
Together with GBI van Dijk Grasshoppers, who have also won all five games, United are one of just two teams without a defeat. An away game at Zorg en Zekerheid in Leiden follows on Sunday 25 October (16:00), and a week later the showdown at Grasshoppers in Katwijk (31 October, 18:45).
