The Uni Rebels shut down all challenges by the Lightning in their 64-48 win to keep pressure on the second placed Eagles as both sides vie for the ‘double-chance’ position in the upcoming playoffs. The Rebels closed down all efforts from the Lightning to pull off a late season upset and in the process have opened up the door for Ansett to claim the fourth spot in the playoffs from the Lightning. Rebel duo Edith Boundry and Ambah Kowcun teamed up for 29 points to lead the team to its 10 victory of the season with vet Chantelle Lee potting 9 in support. Lightning kept it close up until half time, trailing by only 5 at 30-25, but after the break the Rebels stepped up and delivered with a 34-23 run to finish things off. Bonnie Illingsworth led the Lightning with 15, with Yasmin De Curtins & Kelly Doherty hitting 10 each.
