Marino named WNBL POTW
New Zealand Tall Fern Angela Marino has been named the Player of the Week for her inspiring performance in Round 3 of the Women's National Basketball League.
Marino posted 11 points in the final quarter to lift Adelaide Lightning to a 93-87 victory over Perth Lynx after Lightning captain Jess Foley succumbed to an ankle sprain late in the second quarter in Albany on Saturday.
Two-time Olympian Marino top-scored with 32 points, shooting 7-of-11 from the field at 64 percent and was at home on the charity stripe where she converted 15-of-19.
The 166cm point guard also managed to pull in six rebounds and dish five assists.
Marianna Tolo and Round 2 Player of the Week Kristi Harrower were also standouts in Round 3.
Opals point guard Harrower scored 26 points in the second half to finish with a game high 32 points against Logan in Bendigo Spirit’s one-point win, 72-71, on Friday. The point guard grabbed seven rebounds and an assist.
Canberra Capitals forward Tolo tallied a double-double with 33 points and 10 rebounds against the AIS on Sunday. She shot 13-of-18 from the field and rejected five shots.
