Harrower takes home WNBL POTW

Beijing silver-medallist Kristi Harrower has been named the Nivea Player of the Week for Round 3 in her return to the Australian Defence Force Women's National Basketball League.

Harrower's appearance led the Bendigo Spirit to their first victory of the 2008/09 season. The Spirit defeated the Dandenong Rangers 82-81 in overtime at the Geelong Arena on Friday night.

The Australian Defence Force Opal was a force to be reckoned with in her season debut. She posted 34 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals. Harrower nailed five of seven 3-point attempts, at 71 percent.
Rohanee Cox (31 points) and Alicia Poto (26 points) got mentions while two Lightning players were featured as "noteworthy performances":

Rebecca Duke: 25 points, eight rebounds, five assists, four steals
Cayla Francis: 19 points, 18 rebounds(!)
