BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Senior guard Cyndi Valentin and the Big Ten Foreign Tour team put together yet another impressive performance as they rolled past the Netherlands National team on Wednesday night, 107-52. Valentin had a solid all-around game, as she scored 12 points, grabbed three rebounds and dished out three assists.
The Bloomington, Ind., product scored in double figures for the second game in a row, as she netted 16 points in the All-Star's first win over the Netherlands National team on Tuesday. She is currently leading all players in scoring with 14.0 points per game.
Wednesday's game format was slightly different for the Big Ten student-athletes as the game was played in quarters rather than halves. After holding the Netherlands to just 24 points in the first half in Tuesday's game, the All-Stars took a 59-23 lead into halftime and did not allow the National Team more than 15 points in a quarter in Wednesday's rout.
The All-Stars will complete their three-game stint with the Netherlands in Amsterdam on Thursday at 7:30 p.m.
Updated results during the tour will be available on the Big Ten website, www.bigten.org and IUHOOSIERS.com
