Date: March 1, 2023
WNBL top team - Townsville Fire (17-4) had no problems winning another game. This time they crushed fifth ranked Bendigo Spirit (11-10) 89-64. Townsville Fire dominated down low during the game scoring 64 of its points in the paint compared to Bendigo Spirit's 38. Worth to mention a quality performance of forward Mikaela Ruef (191-1990, college: Stanford) who helped to win the game recording 9 points, 15 rebounds and 5 assists and American forward Tianna Hawkins (191-1991, college: Maryland, agency: LBM Management) who added 19 points and 5 rebounds during the contest. Four Townsville Fire players scored in double figures. At the losing side guard Alex Wilson (181-1994) responded with 12 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists and forward Alicia Froling (190-1996, college: SMU) scored 10 points and 7 rebounds. Since the result was very predictable, it gave the chance for the coaches to test many bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Townsville Fire have an impressive 12-game winning streak. They maintain first position with 17-4 record. Bendigo Spirit lost sixth consecutive game. They keep the fifth place with ten games lost.
