Last Thursday was a huge night at the Geelong Arena, as our team walked away 3 point winners over the Southside Flyers.
Haley Jones: 19 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists
Keely Froling: 18 points, 14 rebounds, 3 assists
Elissa Brett: 15 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist
Unfortunately, it was not our day at the following game in Bendigo, going down to the ladder leaders by 17.
Up next, we’re back on home court as we host the Adelaide Lightning this Saturday, November 16!
