She was named an ANZAC Round medallist, after dropping 34 points, seven rebounds and five assists against Mackay. 

This past WNBL regular season, Cubillo has been reinhabiting and training with the Adelaide Lightning.  

She joins WNBL talents in Maddy Allen, Kalani Purcell and NBL1 standouts Aice Dart and Mackenzie Clinch Hoycard for the Spartans 2024 roster.
