Red City Roar (96) def by SW Metro Pirates (99)

It took going to overtime, but the SW Metro Pirates have their first win of the season, taking down Red City by three. 

The Pirate’s big three were phenomenal, with only 13 of the 99 points coming from players not named Bride Kennedy-Hopoa (34), Catherine MacGregor (28) or Stephanie Bairstow (24). 

Mia Loyd was colossal in her own right, a 32-point 15-rebound double-double with eight assists and three steals, but SW Metro had just a little bit more to give in this one.

Stephanie Reid shone for the flames, scoring a game-high 24 points, as well as nine assists, six steals and five rebounds as her team claimed the 19-point win.

Darwin Salties (85) def by Mackay Meteorettes (91)

A slow start let the Salties down here; after a 12-19 first quarter they would not lose another quarter by more than one point, losing what unfortunately could’ve been a close game. 

Five Mackay players hit double figures, led by Alisia Jenkins with 18 points, nine rebounds, four assists and two steals. 

Ruby Porter led all scorers with 23 points, with the Salties desperately wishing they would’ve had a more competitive first quarter.

North Gold Coast Seahawks (60) def by Brisbane Capitals (71)

A strong third quarter got Brisbane the win in this game, outsourcing North Gold Coast 24-12 in a game that saw only one point of difference over the other three. 

Abby Cubillo led for the Capitals, with 19 points, seven rebounds, five assists and 3 steals. 

Two separate Seahawks also scored 19 - Katelyn Donovan and Isalys Quinones - but 0 bench points over the entire game meant that the team was always going to struggle.

BRISBANE 71 (Cubillo 19, Corke 16, Cameron 14)

Lachlan Dent was Brisbane's top performer, 16 points, six rebounds, six assists and two steals, but North Gold Coast were simply too good on the night.
