Regular Season Round 8: Bendigo - Geelong U. 93-58

Date: December 5, 2025
There was no surprise when 6th ranked United (3-8) was crushed on the road by second ranked Bendigo Spirit (9-2) 93-58 on Friday. Bendigo outrebounded Geelong U. 46-34 including a 35-22 advantage in defensive rebounds. Bendigo looked well-organized offensively handing out 21 assists. Worth to mention a great performance of the former international power forward Kelsey Griffin (188-1987, college: Nebraska) who helped to win the game recording a double-double by scoring 19 points and 11 rebounds (on 9-of-11 shooting from the field) and international guard Isobel Borlase (180-2004) who added 19 points and 4 assists during the contest. Four Bendigo Spirit players scored in double figures. American forward Mackenzie Holmes (190-2001, college: Indiana, agency: LBM Management) responded with a double-double by scoring 22 points and 13 rebounds and point guard Lilly Rotunno (170-2004) scored 7 points. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Bendigo Spirit have an impressive six-game winning streak. Defending champion maintains second position with 9-2 record having just one point less than leader Townsville. Geelong U. lost fourth consecutive game. Newly promoted team dropped to the seventh place with eight games lost. They share the position with Sydney. Bendigo will meet Geelong U. (#7) on the road in the next round where they are favorite. Geelong U. will play against Southside in Dandenong and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
