The Eagles staged the biggest comeback of the season with a hard fought 59-57 win over the Uni Rebels.

She also scored the last nine points of the game for the Eagles as they improved their record to 4-0. The Birds jumped out to a 12-4 first quarter lead, but that disappeared in a hurry as the Rebels charged back in the second quarter with a 28-9 run led by by Ambah Kowcun who hit 15 of her game high 20 in the quarter. The Eagles pulled one point back by the end of the third quarter, but still trailed 47-35 with a quarter to play. The last quarter was a wild scramble as the Birds clawed their way back into the game to eventually win it from the charity stripe thanks to Friel. Friel finished with 19, Faye Armstrong 16 and Trish Graham 13 while veteran Chantelle Lee added 15 in support of Kowcun.

League Men - Tracy Village Jets v Uni Rebels
