Caledonia Pride entertain Team Northumbria at The Oriam on Sunday (tip-off 1pm) looking for revenge after a late defeat when the English side called recently.
Scotland’s first women’s professional basketball squad believe they can earn a confidence-boosting home win and are still smarting from being edged 71-77 in overtime.
Coach Bart Sengers has had two clear weeks to work with the squad after their first win.
And he said: “After last time, we know that we have an opportunity to go out there and give Team Northumbria a good run.
“We were unlucky to not hold on at home to Northumbria last time and will need to do a better job of that this time round.”
He added that the recent road trip to Cardiff and London at Oaklands Wolves has brought the team much closer.
The Dutchman said: “Getting over that hurdle of securing our first win will give us a lot of confidence heading in to the weekend.”
