Eriksson's 36 Points Ignites Titans' Blowout Win Over Lumberjacks, 116-82
Eriksson Explodes for 36 as Titans Dominate Lumberjacks
By Claire Davies
TORONTO – The Toronto Titans delivered a commanding performance at home, overwhelming the Portland Lumberjacks with a resounding 116-82 victory. Fueled by a career-high scoring night from Lena Eriksson, the Titans controlled the tempo from start to finish, asserting their dominance in the February 2026 Season matchup and silencing any doubts about their offensive firepower.
The game began with a defensive intensity from both sides. Early on, Portland’s Kian Maxwell and Brooke King tried to establish a presence, but were met with strong resistance, including key blocks. The turning point arrived midway through the first quarter when Lena Eriksson found her rhythm. A series of aggressive drives and a clutch three-pointer ignited an offensive surge for Toronto. By halftime, the Titans had built a substantial lead, aided by stellar rebounding from Aisha Khan and a stifling defense that forced numerous Portland turnovers, including critical steals by Elara Fischer and Alina Kozlova.
Eriksson continued her masterful display in the second half, pouring in buckets and orchestrating the offense with precision. Her ability to create her own shot and find open teammates made her nearly unguardable for the Lumberjacks. The Titans’ ball movement was exceptional, generating 31 assists and consistently finding open looks, while their defense held Portland to a dismal 29.4% shooting from the field. Portland’s Kian Maxwell and Isabella Santos showed flashes of scoring, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the Titans’ relentless attack.
“We came out with the right mindset tonight, “ said Titans Head Coach Marcus Bell. “Lena was incredible, but it was a total team effort. Our defense set the tone, and we capitalized on our opportunities.”
Lena Eriksson, beaming after her electric performance, added, “I just felt good out there. My teammates found me, and we were playing with a lot of confidence. It’s a great win for us.”
