Regular Season Round 5: Canberra - Sydney 96-56

Date: November 15, 2025
Bottom-ranked Canberra Capitals managed to get a second victory, breaking the series of four consecutive losses on Saturday night. This time they outleveled seventh-ranked Sydney Flames 96-56. It's especially surprising that the victory came too easily and 40-point difference suggests that Canberra Capitals is in a good shape to leave the bottom place. They dominated down low during the game scoring 54 of its points in the paint compared to Sydney Flames's 26. Canberra forced 19 Sydney turnovers and had a 29-18 advantage in offensive rebounds. Canberra looked well-organized offensively handing out 25 assists. The former international guard Jade Melbourne (178-2002, college: Arizona St.) stepped up and scored 14 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists for the winners and the former international forward Sara Blicavs (188-1993) chipped in 17 points. Four Canberra Capitals players scored in double figures. American forward Unique Thompson (190-1999, college: Auburn) responded with 19 points and the former international guard Lauren Nicholson (180-1993, college: SMC) scored 7 points and 5 assists. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Canberra (2-4) moved-up to seventh place. Loser Sydney Flames dropped to the bottom position with five games lost. Canberra will meet league's leader Townsville on the road in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. Sydney will play against Southside (#6) in Dandenong and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
