Regular Season Round 13: Melbourne - Townsville 94-58

Date: January 13, 2024
The most crucial game of the last round was a loss of top-ranked Townsville Fire (12-4) in Melbourne on Saturday night. Visitors were rolled over by second ranked Boomers (10-6) 94-58. It ended at the same time the four-game winning streak of Townsville Fire. It may be a crucial game in the contest for the top position in the league. Melbourne dominated down low during the game scoring 56 of its points in the paint compared to Townsville Fire's 32. They outrebounded Townsville 43-21 including a 31-16 advantage in defensive rebounds. Melbourne looked well-organized offensively handing out 22 assists. Worth to mention a great performance of American forward Naz Hillmon-Baker (188-2000, college: Michigan) who helped to win the game recording a double-double by scoring 24 points and 12 rebounds. Her fellow American import point guard Jordin Canada (168-1995, college: UCLA) contributed with a double-double by scoring 17 points and 10 assists for the winners. Five Boomers players scored in double figures. The former international forward Zitina Aokuso (194-1998) answered with 13 points and 7 rebounds and guard Stephanie Reid (168-1996, college: Buffalo) added 8 points and 7 assists in the effort for Townsville. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Melbourne maintains second place with 10-6 record having just two points less than leader Townsville. Defending champion Townsville still keeps top position with four games lost. Melbourne are looking forward to face Southside (#3) in Dandenong in the next round, which may be the game of the day. Townsville will play at home against Adelaide and is hoping to win this game.
