WORCESTER Wolves secured their third consecutive win of 2025 with an 88-80 victory over St Helens Saints.

Wolves, who have been in impressive form in the National Basketball League Division Two, managed to overcome Saints at the University of Worcester Arena on Saturday (January 18).

The Saints, who had only lost once in their previous ten outings, were no match for Wolves relentless attacks.

A series of outside shots gave the Wolves a 42-38 lead at half-time.

Despite a brief comeback by the Saints after the interval, the Wolves maintained their composure and control until the final buzzer.

Wolves coach Dean Blake said: "I’m really happy.

"We didn’t shoot the ball well in many of our early games but since Christmas it’s been a different story.

"At half-time today we were successful on seventy percent of our three-pointers, an amazing statistic, and maintained a good percentage until the end – that’s made a massive difference.

“We looked after the ball, we moved the ball around well, we did a really good job on the boards and we worked so hard. Everyone contributed.”

Saints' former Worcester guard Disraeli Lufadeju, who scored a game-high 25 points, was countered by Wolves' Wilfrid Santhe, who scored 21 points and provided nine assists.

James Davis also made a significant contribution with a double double of 13 points and 13 rebounds.

Wolves' were further bolstered by contributions from Jacob Dearman and Fin Rennie, who each scored 15 points, and Daijaun Antonio, who added 14 points.

Coach Blake added: "Some of our plays today were amazing.

"Last week we took just six players up to Teesside and still won the game – that shows the character we’ve got here.

"We want to work and we want to fight."

The Wolves' recent form has moved them up to seventh place in the table.

However, they face challenging away games against Cardiff Met Archers and Liverpool, who are also looking to move up the table.

Blake concluded: "Our next games will be at teams positioned close to us but we’ll still prepare as we always do.

"We have to keep grounded and make sure that we come out with the same fight and resilience that we showed today."
