North V Southern
Southern Tigers Women superbly lead by Tamara Walker accounted for North Adelaide Rockets by 4 points.
Walker was a livewire that North could not contain with 3 big 3's in the first quarter, she managed to pick up rebounds fight for loose balls and generally lead her team from the front.
Beatty played well, but was well contained by Hill & Dhu. Cooper & Redden both played well, Cooper fouling out in the last quarter.
Kaesler, Cannon & Warnes all stepping up to the plate, Warnes with a big 3 in the face of tough opposition. Cannon a huge 3, north had knocked the ball into the back court, with the shot clock in single figures. Cannon double teamed on the half court line lauches a prayer with the shot clock expiring. It was nothing but net.
in the context of the game it was a big shot, it highlighted the southern magical touch
Jo Hill, Elle Couglan, Jenna P, Lauren Mansfield and Tania Dhu never gave up. Chopper hitting some big 3 pointers of her own. However, they never seemed to gel on the night constantly playing catch up basketball.
Marc Wallis' last game for the club was disappointing for him, his girls down as much as 10 in the last quarter. A 3 on the siren shaved the margin to a flattering 4 points.
Southern playing with confidence will be hard to stop they have found their form at the right end of the season.
