Mustangs will play next round against North Bears trying to get back on the winning streak. BA CoE will try to continue on its current victory against Hawks in Wollongong.
The most crucial game of the last round was a loss of Suns in Bulleen. Visitors were rolled over by Boomers 85-51. Guard Annabel Deerbon (180, college: HCU) notched 17 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 steals to lead the effort and Olivia Bontempelli supported her with 18 points and 6 rebounds. Boomers' coach Mason Rogers felt very confident using entire bench which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Even 16 points and 9 rebounds by New Zealand forward Alicia Carline (190-1993, college: Portland St.) did not help to save the game for Suns. Boomers will play against Warriors in the next round where they are favorite. Suns will play against Cougars in McKinnon and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
