League Women –Tracy Village Jets v Eagles
The Tracy Village Jets hit triple digits for the fourth time this season with a dominating 100-48 win against the Eagles. Matching up against each other on consecutive nights was not a scenario the Eagles would have asked for, but it was the luck of the draw and the end result was the same as it was on Friday night. Top scoring for the Jets this time was court captain Sam Rioli (15.5ppg) who hit a game high 26 followed by 23 from Abby Cubillo (26.7ppg) and 21 from Kylie Duggan (16.5ppg). The writing was on the wall for the Birds after another poor start when they fell behind 23-5 after a quarter of play. Kimberly Brown (10ppg) topped the scoring for the Eagles with 19 and Faye Armstrong put up 10. The Jets win streak continues. This was the 14th win in a row.
Lightning v Ansett
Ansett flew past the Lightning 56-40 claiming a little bit of revenge after Friday night’s one point loss to them. Elizabeth Paice from Ansett lifted her offensive game to pump in a season high 19 points to lead the Blues to the victory. Paice (7ppg) had help from Bella Politis who also hit double figures with 13 and Clancy Dorman who hit 9. Lightning bolted out into the lead with a 13-10 first quarter lead, but the wheels fell off in the second quarter as the Blues held them to just 3 points in the quarter while running off 11 of their own for a 21-16 half time lead. The Blues maintained the momentum throughout the second half, outscoring the Lightning 35-24 for the win. Yasmin DeCurtins (5.7ppg) led the Lightning with 13 points while Kelly Doherty added 10.

Turner had plenty of scoring support from Chris Hart (22ppg) who top scored for the game with 36 and James Silvie (24ppg) who had 16. The Eagles had built up a 44-32 half time lead they had to defend throughout the second half as the Blues fought back through Donte Nicholas, Daniel Florance and Tom Hunt trying to breech the gap.
