Central Coast Crusaders (78) def by Sutherland Sharks (89) 

A game that felt closer than the score suggests, this was a battle of sharpshooters, with shots falling left, right, and centre. 

For the Crusaders, Darneka Rowe lead the team off the bench, scoring 21 points. 

However, Sutherland's win comes in large part due to the offensive masterclass of Lauren Nicholson, who had 40 points and nine assists for the Sharks.
