Regular Season Round 10: Melbourne - Canberra 78-57

Date: January 14, 2023
WNBL top team - Boomers (11-2) had no problems winning another game on Saturday. This time they crushed eighth ranked Canberra Capitals (1-13) in Melbourne 78-57. Boomers made 16-of-19 free shots (84.2 percent) during the game. Boomers outrebounded Canberra Capitals 53-40 including 41 on the defensive glass. The former international center Cayla George (193-1989) notched a double-double by scoring 37 points (!!!) and 17 rebounds to lead the effort and the former international guard Kristy Wallace (180-1996, college: Baylor) supported her with 14 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists. Boomers' coach Chris Lucas felt very confident using 10 players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Even 22 points and 7 rebounds by American swingman Rae Burrell (185-2000, college: Tennessee) did not help to save the game for Canberra Capitals. Her fellow American import guard Nicole Munger (180-1997, college: Michigan) added 10 points and 11 rebounds for lost side. Defending champion maintains first position with 11-2 record. Loser Canberra Capitals stay at the bottom place with 13 games lost. Boomers will meet at home Bendigo Spirit (#3) in the next round, which may be the game of the day. Canberra Capitals will play against the league's second-placed Southside Flyers (#2) and hope to win that game.
