Dandenong Rangers (WNBL) agreed terms with experienced 38-year old Spaniard international guard Laia Palau (177-79). She has played for the last four seasons at USK Praha in ZBL league in Czech Republic. In 27 games she had just 3.0ppg, 2.6rpg, 6.6apg and 2.4spg last season. Quite impressive year as she was named to Eurobasket.com All-Czech Rep. ZBL 2nd Team and All-Bosmans Team. Palau also played 19 games in Euroleague where she recorded 5.1ppg, 3.6rpg, 7.8apg (leader !!!) and 1.3spg (in top 4). She helped them to make it to the Euroleague Final Four. It was another spectacular season as she was voted Eurobasket.com All-Euroleague European Player of the Year, Guard of the Year and named to 1st Team. Palau won Czech Republic D1 championship title for four years in a row (between 2014 and 2017). She also represented Spain at the Qualifications to European Championships 2017 last year. Her stats at that event were 3 games: 7.7ppg, 1.7rpg, 5.0apg, 2.0spg, FGP: 75.0%, 3PT: 44.4%, FT: 83.3%. Palau has played also professionally in France (Bourges), Poland (CCC Polkowice) and Spain (Ros Casares). She is close to retirement age as a player. It's very possible she may end her playing career at Dandenong.

The round was exceptionally exciting as four games ended with a tiny margin. There was no lack of interesting games this round. The round ended with defeat of the leader, favorites losing the games and games ending by tiny margin. Here is the last round review presented by LBM Management.
The game had a very big importance for third-ranked North Bears as it allowed them to take a leadership position in League. North Bears smashed 9th ranked Panthers in Crows Nest 70-34. North Bears held Panthers to an opponent 18.6 percent shooting from the field compared to 32.4 percent accuracy of the winners. North Bears forced 20 Panthers turnovers and outrebounded them 51-36 including 20 on the offensive glass. It was a great evening for guard Kate Seebohm (170-91, college: California, PA) who led her team to a victory scoring 23 points and 6 steals. Guard Elizajane Loader (173, college: Portland St.) helped adding 2 points, 15 rebounds and 8 assists. At the losing side Dominika Offner responded with 9 points and 6 rebounds. Panthers' coach gave up on the game allowing to play eleven players seeing no chance for a win. As mentioned above they are alone now at the top position. Newly promoted Panthers keep the ninth place with five games lost. Panthers will play next round against strong Hunters trying to get back on the winning streak. North Bears will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game. The most crucial game of the last round was the first loss of undefeated Sabres (5-1) in Adelaide. Visitors were defeated by Rockets (6-0) 75-69. It was a key game for the top position in League. It was an exceptional evening for Samantha Defrancesco who led the winners and scored 12 points and 8 rebounds. Tayla Corrigan accounted for 15 points and 5 rebounds. Forward Chelsea Brook (188-98) came up with a double-double by scoring 29 points and 21 rebounds (made all of her ten free throws !!!) for Sabres in the defeat. Sabres' coach rotated eleven players in this game, but that didn't help. Rockets maintains first place in League with 6-0 record. Sabres at the other side keep the second position with one game lost. Rockets will play against Mavericks (#9) in Mt. Barker in the next round and are hoping to win another game. Sabres will play on the road against Warriors (#7) in Flinders Park and hope to get back on the winning track. Quite upsetting was Warriors' home defeat in a game versus Eagles75-63. Olivia Thompson fired a double-double by scoring 14 points and 22 rebounds for the winners. Nyre Harris produced a double-double by scoring 25 points and 17 rebounds for lost side. Despite that victory Eagles went down to sixth position (League) due to points difference. Loser Warriors dropped to the seventh place with four games lost. Eagles will meet Panthers (#10) in the next round. Warriors will play against the league's second-placed Sabres and hope to secure a win. And what about another game where Geelong Supercats (#6) beat 5th ranked Nationals80-72 on the road. Worth to mention a great performance of Isabella Brancatisano who helped to win the game recording a double-double by scoring 23 points, 11 rebounds and 9 assists. Nationals' coach tested ten players, but that didn't help to avoid defeat in this game. Geelong Supercats (2-0) moved-up to third place in League. Nationals at the other side dropped to the seventh position with one game lost. Geelong Supercats' next round opponent will be Ballarat Rush (#5) in Wendouree. Nationals will play on the road against Tigers in Melbourne and hope to win that game. Important game to mention about took place in Greensborough. Sixth ranked Diamond Valley Eagles (2-4) saved a 2-point victory at home edging leader Rangers (4-2) 79-77 on Sunday evening. It was a great evening for Chevannah Paalvast who led her team to a victory scoring 24 points and 7 rebounds. Diamond Valley Eagles moved-up to fourth place in League.
