The Caboolture Suns’ Traci Edwards is named the QBL Player of the Week for back-to-back weeks after a hard hitting Round 14 performance. Edwards shows real versatility on the floor and this can be seen by her ultra high ranking in five stat’s criteria from the current season –

On the super tough road-double in central QLD over the weekend, Edwards led from the front to see the Suns split their games. Facing a stacked and Championship-worthy Gladstone Power team on Saturday night, Edwards registered the 2nd highest score within the League this year – 45pts @ 65%, 17rbs, 2asts, 1stl to keep the team very competitive but unfortunately they came up short (94-103).
