Titans Strike Early, Hawks Can't Soar Back in 107-93 Loss
Eriksson's Career Night Powers Toronto Past Valiant Milan
MILAN – The Toronto Titans delivered a commanding performance on the road, defeating the Milan Hawks 107-93 in a February 2026 Season matchup. Despite a spirited effort and strong rebounding from the Hawks, the Titans’ consistent offensive attack, led by a career-high performance from Lena Eriksson, proved too much to overcome. The Hawks struggled to find their offensive rhythm, particularly from beyond the arc, allowing the Titans to build and maintain a significant lead throughout the contest.
The game began at a frantic pace, with both teams trading early baskets. Lena Eriksson immediately asserted herself for the Titans, knocking down multiple jumpers and establishing an early scoring presence. The Hawks, however, answered with contributions from Jaya Kumar and Dorothea Henderson, keeping the score close in the opening frame. A key turning point came late in the second quarter when the Titans, fueled by sharp ball movement, went on a run. Sofia Lindberg hit a crucial three-pointer, and the Titans’ defense, led by Elara Fischer’s steals, forced Milan into difficult possessions.
Lena Eriksson was the undisputed star of the night, pouring in a game-high 29 points and adding 8 rebounds. Ronan Schmidt chipped in with 19 points and 5 assists, while Chiara Heredia added a double-double with 14 points and 9 rebounds. For the Hawks, Jaya Kumar led the scoring with 18 points, and Dorothea Henderson contributed 10 points and 3 blocks. “We fought hard, but credit to Toronto, they executed their game plan perfectly tonight,” said Hawks’ head coach, Marco Bellini. “We need to learn from this and tighten up our offensive consistency.”
“We came in with the mindset to control the tempo and play our game,” stated Lena Eriksson post-game. “It feels good to contribute like this, but it’s a team win. We played well together.”
