League Women - Eagles v Uni Rebels

The team coming into the finals on a roll was the Uni Rebels and they kept up that momentum with a hard fought 68-61 win over the second placed Eagles to get themselves into an unlikely Grand Final appearance with the Tracy Village Jets. The Rebels didn’t look like contender’s half way through the season but made up for the slow start by piling on the wins in the second half of the season to get themselves into their first Challenge Season GF since 2003 when they last won it. The Rebels broke this game wide open at the start of the fourth quarter. They led 48-45 at the end of three quarters of play, but left the Eagles floundering with a withering 13 points to nil fourth quarter beginning putting the Birds behind by 15 with just six and a half minutes remaining! To their credit the Birds did rally and got to within 5 at 64-59 after a basket by Alysha-Marie Williams, but Tiayana Sing nailed a trey in reply and pretty much sealed the game for the Rebels. Danielle Ponter (13.8ppg) led the winners with 21, Jaylene Bonson (16.8ppg) added 20 and Sing finished with 11. Ieasha Friel hit 25 for the Eagles with Williams (9.2ppg) hitting a season high 24. For the record Friel (26.4ppg) finished the season as a 13 year old leading the statistics in every field (ppg,total pts,treys,ft’s & 2 pointers) something that has never been done before in League history by one so young (It has actually never been done by anyone).
