THE Rockingham Flames women's SBL team had a remarkable weekend recording two wins by a combined 57 points over two talented opponents to remain unbeaten to start the 2014 season.

Week 2 women's SBL action began with two matches on Friday night that saw the Perry Lakes Hawks get their first win of 2014 beating the Perth Redbacks 71-53 and then the Flames thrashed the Willetton Tigers 94-60.

There were then three more matches on Saturday night with the South West Slammers opening their season beating the Kalamunda Eastern Suns 64-50 while the Schweigen East Perth Eagles defeated the Stirling Senators 67-62 and the Cockburn Cougars downed the Willetton Tigers 75-63.

Then in Sunday afternoon's only match up at the Mandurah Aquatic and Recreation Centre with the Flames topping off their weekend with a 77-53 victory over the Mandurah Magic.

The Week 2 results end with the Flames sitting atop the women's SBL standings with three straight victories to open the new season by a combined 102 points.
